First unveiled in Geneva at the 2014 European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (EBACE), the 32-metre long mock-up is a full-scale reproduction of the Global 7000 aircraft.

This exclusive visit to the UAE marks the mock-up’s maiden voyage to the Middle East. Jetex will celebrate its arrival with a lavish cocktail event held in the convivial surroundings of its flagship Dubai South facility on Wednesday, Jan. 17.

Guests will be able to explore the full length of the cabin, from the cockpit’s cutting-edge technology and the full-size kitchen to the spacious bedroom and the luggage bay at the rear.

This rare opportunity will allow guests to discover what will place the Global 7000 aircraft at the pinnacle of the large business jet market. The Global 7000 aircraft will be the first and only aircraft in its class to offer four living spaces and a dedicated full-sized crew suite, and its meticulously crafted interior will incorporate bespoke living areas where passengers can work, dine, sleep and relax in unparalleled luxury and comfort.

The Global 7000 mock-up features a dining area, entertainment lounge, en-suite master bedroom and private washroom. The fully equipped kitchen features a large cooking surface and high-end appliances, as well as ample room for dinnerware and glassware, offering a sense of home comfort.

The interior of the aircraft will be highly customizable and owners seeking to create the ultimate in-flight experience will be able to configure the interior to reflect their personal tastes.

The Global 7000 aircraft, the world’s largest purpose-built business jet, has a top speed of Mach 0.925 and a remarkable 7,400-nautical-mile range, allowing it to connect the world’s most expansive city pairings while delivering the ultimate smooth ride.
