Long range jets are the aircraft Houston energy companies use to reach their operations without stopping. The Global 5000 is one of the larger cabins we put in front of Houston groups before the trip moves to airliner-size.
Bombardier introduced the Global 5000 in 2005. Cabins are typically fitted with a cabin shower, though this varies by airframe and we confirm the specifics before quoting.

Why the Global 5000 Fits Houston
For a Houston company with operations in West Africa or the Middle East, it turns a two-day journey into an overnight flight.
The published 5,200 nautical miles covers New York, Bogota, and Sao Paulo nonstop out of Houston once you allow for winds and reserves. Real-world range moves with payload, temperature, and winds, so the operator checks it against your specific trip.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
