Fractional ownership start-up BOND (Fort Lauderdale International) has expanded a June 2025 order placed with Bombardier Business Aircraft, adding four new firm orders for Global-family jets and converting 24 of 70 options into Global 8000 aircraft, with the flexibility to revert them to Global 6500s.

In a statement, BOND said the decision reflects sustained demand at the top end of the private aviation market, where supply continues to lag demand, particularly among buyers seeking newer aircraft and alternative ownership models, adding that it is “prioritising exclusivity over scale in the super-midsize to ultra-long-range segment”.

With this update, BOND's total commitment to Bombardier rises to up to USD5 billion. The company initially placed an order valued at up to USD4 billion for fifty Challenger 3500 and Global 6500 jets, with options for 70 additional Challenger and Global-series aircraft, alongside a comprehensive service agreement.

BOND has raised a total of USD440 million in funding to date, including an initial USD320 million in preferred equity and debt financing led by credit funds and accounts managed by global investment firm KKR. KKR has also increased BOND's credit facility to USD290 million to support an accelerated delivery schedule for 2027 member commitments.

Ahead of a planned 2027 launch of operations, the start-up has already acquired the Part 135 certificate of National Jets (United States of America) (EGS) as part of a broader series of anticipated acquisitions.
