Bombardier successfully completed the first flight of a Global Express XRS equipped with the company's new Global Vision flightdeck on 3 August.

After initial flights in Toronto, the aircraft will be ferried to Bombardier's flight-test centre in Wichita, where it will undergo US Federal Aviation Administration, Transport Canada and European Aviation Safety Agency certification testing. Global Vision will be available on the Global 5000 and Global Express XRS from 2011.
