Fractional ownership start-up BOND has acquired National Jets (United States of America) (EGS, Fort Lauderdale International) as part of a series of acquisitions expected ahead of a planned 2027 launch, Private Jet Card Comparisons reports.

Part 135-certified operator National Jets represents the first of several anticipated acquisitions. As of July, the carrier's Part 135 certificate, held under Longhorn Gator, LLC, comprised a Learjet 40, a GIV-SP parked at Fort Lauderdale International since March 28, and a Hawker 800XPi(2).

The Hawker Beechcraft aircraft, added alongside the Gulfstream Aerospace jet in late 2024, was phased out in early September and has since joined another unit of the type in the fleet of Aircharters Worldwide (MJS, Miami Opa-Locka). The 9-year-old Hawker 800XPi(2), N130YB (msn 258590), configured for up to nine seats, began operating under Aircharters Worldwide's 'MJS' code on September 29.

Through this acquisition, BOND now holds a Part 135 certificate and has elected to establish global headquarters at Fort Lauderdale International. Additional satellite offices are planned in New York City, Beverly Hills, and Las Vegas.

Separately, BOND confirmed plans to provide aircraft management services limited to the carrier's fractional ownership clients.

A separate source indicated that more than a dozen recent-model super-midsize and ultra-long-range aircraft will be managed, including the Challenger 3500, Global 6500, Global 7500, and Global 8000 models. The aircraft will not be offered on the charter market and will instead support BOND's customer network.

In October, the company was disclosed as the customer behind a June 2025 order placed with Bombardier Business Aircraft for fifty Challenger 3500 and Global 6500 aircraft, with options for a further seventy Challenger and Global-series jets, including the Global 8000.

At the time, BOND also announced USD320 million in preferred equity and debt financing led by credit funds and accounts managed by global investment firm KKR, alongside USD30 million in equity from founding partners. A further USD44 million was subsequently invested by a group of ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

The financing is expected to be used in part to support further acquisitions ahead of the company's 2027 launch.
