Bombardier’s Global 5500 improved on the Global 5000 with better fuel efficiency and around 700 extra nautical miles of range, which matters when your Orlando departure is headed to Europe or the Pacific Rim. Sixteen seats, a wide cabin, and KORL compatibility make it one of the stronger long-range choices in the market.
Bombardier launched the Global 5500 on the 5000 airframe with Rolls-Royce Pearl 15 engines, improved aerodynamics, and range extended to around 5,900 nautical miles. Sixteen seats in the wide-body cabin. The aircraft entered service in 2019 and replaced the Global 5000 at the top of the 5-series line, with better fuel burn and a Symmetry Flight Deck avionics suite. [EXTERNAL_LINK]

Why the Global 5500 Fits Orlando
The Orlando market sends corporate delegations to London, Frankfurt, and beyond on a regular basis, especially tied to technology licensing deals and theme park development projects. The Global 5500 covers those routes nonstop, reducing crew rest stops and total trip time compared to shorter-range options.
At KORL, the 5500 fits the runway and stays within private-terminal operations. That keeps arrival and departure efficient for groups who need to get to OCCC or the Space Coast without the friction of a commercial airport experience. We have sourced this aircraft for executive groups that outgrow the large-cabin heavy tier.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
