Empire Aviation Expands Managed Fleet with Bombardier Global 6500 Business Jet

Empire Aviation Group, a Dubai-based global provider of integrated private aviation services, has announced the induction of a Bombardier Global 6500 business jet into its managed fleet. This addition strengthens the company’s ultra-long-range aircraft representation within its growing portfolio. Empire Aviation supported the client throughout the onboarding process, including aircraft registration, delivery, and the recruitment and training of dedicated flight crew for both owner and charter operations.

The Bombardier Global 6500, based in Dubai, is the latest addition to the fleet, with Empire Aviation anticipating further fleet expansions in 2026 due to a strong pipeline. The inclusion of the Global 6500 reflects increasing demand among private owners and charter clients for aircraft that deliver exceptional range, performance, comfort, and operational flexibility.

Positioned within the large jet category, the Bombardier Global 6500 offers an ideal balance of capability and luxury. With a range of approximately 6,600 nautical miles, the aircraft connects major global city pairs such as London (EGLL)–Hong Kong (VHHH) and Los Angeles (KLAX)–Dubai (OMDB) nonstop, enabling seamless international travel with high efficiency. Capable of cruising at speeds of up to Mach 0.90, the Global 6500 minimizes travel time while maximizing passenger comfort.

Inside the cabin, the aircraft provides a sophisticated and functional environment tailored to the needs of business and leisure travelers. Multiple living zones—including lounge, dining or conference areas, and a private suite—allow passengers to transition seamlessly between productivity, relaxation, and rest during long-haul flights.

A standout feature of the aircraft is Bombardier’s innovative ‘Nuage’ seating, designed to provide a unique ‘zero-gravity’ comfort experience that significantly reduces fatigue on extended journeys. The exceptionally quiet cabin, advanced circadian lighting technology to reduce jet lag, and a state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment system featuring true 4K displays and premium audio further enhance the onboard experience. Additionally, Bombardier’s Smooth Flex Wing technology reduces the effects of turbulence, delivering one of the smoothest flying experiences in business aviation today.

Paras P. Dhamecha, Founder and Managing Director of Empire Aviation Group, stated: “The Bombardier Global 6500 hits the sweet spot for owners and charter clients. It’s an excellent choice and joins several long-range aircraft in our managed fleet. These aircraft are popular among our owners and charter clients, and it’s easy to see why. The aircraft’s versatility is a key advantage. Despite its ultra-long-range capability, the Global 6500 can still operate efficiently into a wide range of airports worldwide.”

The regional private aviation sector continues to demonstrate resilience, delivering unique capabilities and value for owners and charter users. Demand for private aviation services remains strong, driven by increasing interest from high-net-worth individuals, families, corporates, and government entities.

“Aircraft management is at the heart of our service, and our focus is on maximizing asset value for aircraft owners while delivering safe, efficient, and highly personalized services. It’s all about building confidence with owners, who want the reassurance of entrusting their multimillion-dollar assets—such as the Global 6500—to experienced managers,” added Paras Dhamecha.
