Overview
- The firm order covers 50 Challenger 3500 and Global 6500 jets with deliveries starting in 2027, plus options for 70 more that could lift the deal above $4 billion if exercised.
- A first-of-its-kind long-term service agreement gives BOND access to Bombardier’s maintenance network, parts availability and predictive tools to maximize fleet uptime.
- BOND’s “Fractional 2.0” model centers on an all super‑midsize and large‑cabin fleet, limits each aircraft to 10 owners and includes a cabin attendant on every flight with aircraft pre‑positioned for peak demand.
- Funding includes approximately $320 million in preferred equity and debt led by KKR and about $30 million from founding partners and family offices.
- The startup targets top-tier fractional customers competing with NetJets, Flexjet and VistaJet, plans its first flights in 2027 and expects to base aircraft in Europe by 2028.
