I discuss the construction of globally consistent GUT models from intersecting D7-branes on genuine Calabi-Yau orientifolds. After some general remarks on the global constraints and the low energy effective action I present a class of suitable Calabi-Yau orientifolds which is defined via del Pezzo transitions. In these examples one can realize explicit SU(5) GUTs with gauge symmetry breaking via a U(1)_Y flux.
