Interior design

The Global 5500 has one of the widest cabins in its class, seating 13 or 14 passengers in three distinct zones: a club suite for work and relaxation; conference suite where up to six people can hold meetings or dine together; and private suite with an adjoining bathroom and wardrobe in the quietest area of the aircraft. At the front of the cabin is a sizable galley where hot and cold refreshments can be prepared, along with a separate enclosed lavatory.

Onboard comfort is defined by revolutionary Nuage seating and a sophisticated air purification system, which features an advanced HEPA filter that cleans the air far more efficiently than fresh air-only systems.

Below are examples of typical configurations found onboard a Global 5500.
