Bond Orders $1.7B in Bombardier Jets
Bond has placed a $1.7 billion order for Bombardier jets as it builds a modern fractional ownership fleet.
Bond, a newly formed fractional ownership company, has signed a $1.7 billion deal for Bombardier Challenger 3500 and Global 6500 business jets. The move positions Bond to offer premium charter and fractional shares to customers in North America and Europe, targeting high-end leisure and corporate travellers. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2026.
The order combines Bombardier’s super-midsize Challenger 3500 and large-cabin Global 6500 models, giving Bond range and cabin choices across short and long continental missions. Bombardier is the manufacturer; Bond is the buyer and operator-in-planning for the fractional programme.
Why Bombardier jets fit a modern fractional fleet
Bond’s strategy mirrors broader market demand for refreshed business-jet capacity after pandemic-era slowdowns. Challenger 3500s are popular for transcontinental hops and fast turnarounds, while Global 6500s add intercontinental range and larger cabins — useful for transatlantic sectors between North America and Europe. The order, valued at $1.7 billion, is one of the largest recent business-jet commitments and signals confidence in premium private aviation demand.
- Fleet mix: Challenger 3500 and Global 6500 — giving Bond flexibility with Bombardier jets for short and long missions.
- Launch timing: Deliveries begin in 2026, with operations planned across North America and Europe.
- Business model: Fractional ownership and premium on-demand charter targeting discerning leisure and corporate clients.
Bond will need to build maintenance, crew training and regulatory approvals before offering fractional shares; those operational details including exact delivery schedules and the number of airframes were not disclosed. Bombardier’s Challenger and Global families are already well represented in fractional and charter fleets, which should ease integration for Bond as it scales.
For travellers, the development could mean more availability of professionally managed jets and modern cabins on popular business and leisure routes. Industry watchers will be following the delivery timeline in 2026 and how Bond prices fractional shares versus existing providers.
