U.S. start-up company Bond revealed plans on October 14th, 2025 to launch a fractional ownership operation with a fleet of Bombardier Challenger 3500s and Global 6500s under a previously announced $1.7 billion, 50-aircraft order. Including options for up to 70 more—potentially also including Global 8000s—that could push the total value to $4 billion, the order was originally disclosed in June, but Bombardier did not reveal the customer at that time. Bond plans to start service in 2027.
The deal includes a service agreement under which Bombardier’s U.S. service network will support the aircraft and provide onsite maintenance resources dedicated to the Bond fleet.
