MONTREAL, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ZenithJet, a leading business aviation services firm for Bombardier Global aircraft, today announced that it was the completions oversight provider for the first Bombardier Global 7500 production aircraft to enter service.

As the best-performing aircraft in the industry, the Global 7500 aircraft will revolutionize business aviation. With a range of 7,700 nautical miles and top speed of Mach 0.925, it is the only business aircraft that can connect New York to Hong Kong and Singapore to San Francisco, non-stop (under certain operating conditions).

“Our client selected ZenithJet on the strength of our unique expertise with Global aircraft,” says George Tsopeis, President, ZenithJet. “We put the aircraft through a rigorous review process and it did not disappoint. We were also impressed by the state-of-the-art design elements on the aircraft, which significantly improve the cabin experience by giving it that “home in the sky” feel. With the first delivery now complete, we can appreciate that we had the privilege of experiencing this innovative aircraft before virtually anyone outside Bombardier.”

“For ZenithJet, this project represents our validation as the industry’s preeminent completions oversight provider for Global business jets. We congratulate the Bombardier team on their significant achievement and look forward to working with clients worldwide as deliveries of Global 7500 aircraft continue to ramp up in 2019 and beyond,” concludes Mr. Tsopeis.
