L.A. to NYC in Four Hours? Bombardier Says Global 7500 Jet Sets Record

Bombardier Inc.’s Global 7500 private jet set a record for traveling between Los Angeles and New York City, shaving about 90 minutes off the time it takes an airliner to make the coast-to-coast trip.

The Global 7500, the world’s largest business jet, flew between Van Nuys Airport and Teterboro Airport just outside of New York City in 3 hours and 54 minutes, Bombardier said in a statement. The record comes after the Global 7500 flew 8,152 nautical miles on another recent trip, marking the longest flight for a private plane, the Canadian planemaker said.
