The Clash of Titans: Inside the Rivalry Between Top Custom Luxury Jet Manufacturers

A Peek Behind the Curtains

Picture this: You're a high-flying business magnate, a member of the elite class who navigates the altitudes where the air is fresher. You entrust your air travel adventures to only the best of the bespoke luxury aviation manufacturers. In the world of aircraft royalty, two names rule the skies: Bombardier and Gulfstream. Quality craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, unparalleled comfort – these are the hallmarks of their reputations.

So, who's the top dog in this game of thrones? Who crafts the crown jewel of luxury aviation? Sit back, fasten your seatbelt, and let's take off on an exploratory (and mildly controversial) journey.

The Bombardier Legacies

Bombardier has been a game-changer in the luxury aviation industry since its early days. Known for its obsession with detail, Bombardier has proven time and again that the devil indeed lies in the detail. The zest to create an oeuvre of splendid flying machines has translated into world-class, luxury creations like the Global 7500.

With its four living spaces, a crew rest area, a six-place dining or conference room, and bathrooms at the front and rear of the aircraft, the Global 7500 commands attractiveness and is truly a force to reckon with. 'Live large, fly high' seems to be Bombardier's motto.

THE Gulfstream Galore

Gulfstream holds a distinct position in the custom luxury jet industry as one of the top manufacturers. When it comes to mixing elegance and performance, Gulfstream is a force that gives Bombardier a run for its money. Their superlative creation – the G700, harbors luxurious amenities – an opulent master suite, five living areas, and an avant-garde circadian rhythm-based lighting system that reduces jet lag.

Wonder why Gulfstream should rule the skies? It's in the details, my dear reader - and boy, those splendid details! Who wouldn't want to enjoy an in-flight spa, right?

It's a Tie! Or Is It?

Choosing between Bombardier and Gulfstream is kind of like trying to pick your favorite child - it's tricky, vaguely disloyal, and someone's feelings are bound to get hurt. Both bring to the table unique propositions that make them highly sought after. Although some prefer Bombardier’s bold design and fast speeds, others lean towards Gulfstream's over-the-top luxury and long-range capabilities.

At the end of the day, my dear jetsetters, it all boils down to personal preference. Are you a sucker for speed? Bombardier might be your go-to. Want to live in perpetual daylight with an in-flight spa? Gulfstream it is!

One thing is clear though - if you can swing a luxury custom jet, you're winning. It doesn't matter if you're flying in a Bombardier or Gulfstream, you're beyond first class. You're in a class of your own! We can't all be Jeff Bezos, but hey, no one's stopping us from living that billionaire life in our heads, right? And there's nothing wrong with daydreaming about those opulent custom interiors while we're squeezed into an economy-class seat.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off for my private jet tour. Who am I kidding? I'm off to rehearsal with my barbershop quartet – we're singing at an airline convention. Don’t worry, though, we always fly coach!
