Global 7500 Sets Bizjet Range Record
Bombardier’s new Global 7500 this week achieved what the manufacturer is billing as the world’s longest flight by a purpose-built business jet. The aircraft logged 8,152 nm after taking off from Singapore at 7:12 a.m. local time on March 4 and landing in Tucson, Arizona, at 8:19 a.m.—setting a speed record for this sector in the process.

Sorry,Guys ! Sounds like "Nit-picking" to me.The point is; they did it ! Do you think" they " could guarantee all conditions would be ideal for this flight ?The "Squak" states they had more than the IFR required reserves ! Good Job Bombardier (Period) .
Easy to exceed range expectations and, set time record for class with a significant tailwind... how would a reverse route fair?
Impressive!
Except for the date (one day off) most of the details match https://flightaware.com/live/flight/CFXAI/history/20190302/2245Z/WSSS/KTUS.
they crossed the dateline in the Pacific at some point, not sure if report date matched Zulu when filed. I am not sure how that is all reconciled.
The Claim was ".....The longest flight by......"which ".....In the process set the speed record..." Not nit-picking,here,merely stating the article .
642 gallons left, I've seen regional jets land with less than that, kinda push'n it in that aircraft
