Aviation News – Bombardier secures large 50-aircraft order from BOND fractional ownership venture
Bombardier has confirmed a substantial order for 50 business jets from BOND, a new Fort Lauderdale-based fractional ownership company unveiled during this year’s NBAA-BACE show in Las Vegas. The deal, which was initially reported in June, marks one of Bombardier’s largest recent orders in the business aviation market and highlights growing demand for luxury private air travel solutions.
The firm order covers a mix of Challenger 3500 and Global 6500 aircraft, with BOND also securing options for an additional 70 jets. Founded by the former CEO of Jet Edge and Aero Ventures, BOND aims to redefine the high-end fractional ownership model, competing with industry leaders such as Flexjet and NetJets. The company expects to receive its first aircraft and begin operations in 2027.
Operationally, BOND plans to introduce a premium ownership structure capped at ten owners per aircraft, ensuring greater availability and exclusivity. Each aircraft will include dedicated cabin crew, and the fleet will be reserved exclusively for fractional owners—no external chartering. The fleet’s long-range capability will allow for seamless global connectivity, setting a new standard in private air travel convenience and consistency.
“We are proud to partner with Bombardier as we launch a next-generation fractional ownership experience,” a BOND spokesperson said. “Our goal is to elevate service, safety, and accessibility while ensuring every member enjoys a true sense of ownership and comfort.”
The collaboration strengthens Bombardier’s position in the premium business aviation segment, while giving BOND a strong platform for its 2027 launch. The company’s innovative model could attract a new class of high-net-worth clients seeking reliability, luxury, and operational control in private aviation.
With this deal, Bombardier reinforces its dominance in the long-range and super-midsize markets, while BOND’s entry signals renewed competition and innovation in the fractional ownership sector. Both companies are poised to capitalize on the growing global appetite for flexible, high-end private travel.
