For a Kentucky trip to Dublin, London or Paris, a long range jet can usually make the crossing without a fuel stop, depending on the route and the load.
Bombardier introduced the Global 5000 in 2005. It seats 13 to 16 with a published range of 5,200 nautical miles and a cruise of Mach 0.85 (~488 knots). The aircraft has a service ceiling of 51,000 feet, 195 cubic feet of baggage volume and an enclosed lavatory.

Why the Bombardier Global 5000 Fits Kentucky
With 5,200 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Kentucky to destinations such as Turks and Caicos, Los Angeles and Paris, allowing for reserves and routing. Derby week in Louisville and the Keeneland meets in Lexington are the busiest times for private flights in Kentucky, so book those dates early.
An aircraft this size usually flies from Louisville Muhammad Ali International, Blue Grass Airport in Lexington or Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International, depending on where your trip starts. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm it with the operator before anything is booked.
How Kentucky Clients Use the Bombardier Global 5000
On a long flight from Kentucky, these cabins let passengers rest and arrive ready to work. For a trip that ends outside the United States, send us every passenger’s nationality early, so the arrival abroad can be planned into the route.
Give us the route, who is flying and what they are bringing, golf clubs included, and your advisor will tell you whether this aircraft is right or suggest one that suits the trip better.

- 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.
