A businessman is selling his brand new Bombardier Global 7500, one of the newest private jets on the market with an unparalleled range for its class of 7,700 nautical miles.
The jet was delivered in February 2020 but the owner hasn't flown on it or seen it since it was delivered.
Complete with 16 seats and a private bedroom, the jet is ideal for long-range jet setters.

The Bombardier Global 7500 is one of the world's newest wide-cabin private jets and the latest in the Canadian manufacturer's popular Global Express lineup.

First delivered to a customer in December 2018, merely a handful of the type are currently roaming the skies, making it one of the most exclusive private jets flying. The jet is a long-range leader with a range of 7,700 nautical miles, more than 200 nautical miles greater than currently offered by rival Gulfstream.

But the Global 7500 is not a typical private jet. Complete with a master bedroom, seating for up to 19, and an optional shower, the jet doesn't compromise in any area and is a bonafide leader in its class. Thomas Flohr of VistaJet, one of the newest owners of the aircraft, recently described the aircraft as a "game-changer" in a recent interview with Business Insider regarding the future of private aviation.

While most are coming straight from Bombardier's factory, one owner is currently selling his Global 7500 with an asking price of $70 million. It's currently the only "pre-owned" Global 7500 for sale and with a clear demand for the aircraft, it likely won't be on the market for too much longer once the pandemic eases up, according to seller Philip Rushton of the aircraft acquisition and sales firm Aviatrade

Opting for other aircraft while waiting for his Global 7500 to be delivered, the owner decided to sell the aircraft, making it the only one to be listed on the market for "pre-owned" purchase.

The owner himself, however, hasn't even flown or seen the $70 million jet as it sits idle awaiting its new home. Though it was delivered to the owner's representatives, the aircraft, for all intents and purposes, is brand new.
