The Global 7500 is set to take the travel world by storm.
It will compete with the Gulfstreams G650, which has been one of the most popular choices in the business jet market since 2012.
Both aircrafts can connect the US and Asia in good time as they fly at just under the speed of sound.
But experts believe that the new carrier could have the edge due to its comfortable interiors.

Cabins of the Global 7500 resemble hotels in the air, with their wide entertainment screens and comfy seats.
The jets are also the first to offer beds that havent been converted from onboard sofas.
Adam Twiddle, chief executive of PrivateFly, believes that this is a huge pull-factor for customers.
He said: “The ability to rest undisturbed and comfortable, in a private space, is – for many – a higher priority than indulging in champagne and caviar.”

Thomas Flohr, founder of business aviation company VistaJet, agreed that comfy furnishings are paramount.
The expert explained: “In such long-range, high-speed aircraft, you must have a proper stateroom allowing you to get some good, comfortable sleep.”
Bombardier also plans to develop a convertible chaise lounge that will allow passengers to use it as a bench, reclining chair or lie-flat mattress.
Tim Fagan, industrial design manager, explained: “We wanted it to look like the type of furniture youd have at home.”
