Brief History
The Global 6000 traces its roots to the Global Express XRS which was the third ultra long-range large-cabin business jet produced. The Global 6000 started delivering to customers in 2012. There are currently 61 Global 6000 aircraft in operation around the world. Two new aircraft will follow the Global 6000.
