The Bombardier Global 7500 is currently the largest purpose-built aircraft in service. The ultra-long-range business jet was announced in October 2010 but saw multiple delays, primarily due to a wing redesign. The Global 7500 performed its maiden flight in November 2016, and following a type certification from Transport Canada, the aircraft entered service in December 2018. With an equipped price of $78 million, it is one of the most expensive business jets in the large jet category.
