  • Sweden is to refresh its head of state aircraft fleet, with the NATO nation to replace a pair of Gulfstream business jets with Bombardier Global 6500s.

Sweden has purchased two pre-owned Bombardier Global 6500 business jets to update its VIP transport fleet, with the aircraft set to be delivered in 2024 and 2025. These jets will replace the current pair of Global 6000s used by the Swedish government, which have been in service since 2011. The acquisition, costing around Skr1.5 billion ($137 million), was made through the US firm Mente Group, and the jets will be operated by the Swedish Air Force. The Global 6500s are chosen for their range, speed, and efficiency, aligning with Sweden's need for reliable and cost-effective VIP transport.
