BOND Stuns with a Whopping $1.7B Bombardier Order at NBAA-BACE 2025
The aviation industry was left in awe at NBAA-BACE 2025 when Bombardier unveiled BOND as the mystery customer behind a colossal $1.7 billion aircraft order. The newly established Fort Lauderdale-based fractional ownership company, spearheaded by former Jet Edge founder Bill Papariella, confirmed a firm order for 50 business jets, which includes the Challenger 3500 and Global 6500 aircraft. Additionally, options for 70 more aircraft could potentially escalate the total deal value to a staggering $4 billion.
With a vision to revolutionize the fractional ownership market, BOND plans to initiate “Fractional 2.0” operations in 2027. This unique offering will limit fractional ownership to just ten owners per aircraft, ensuring maximum availability. The company has also secured a pioneering comprehensive service agreement with Bombardier, guaranteeing 24/7 technical support, predictive maintenance tools, and access to the manufacturer’s extensive global service network.
“I believe we executed the quickest deal in the history of aviation and capital markets for purchasing a fleet,” expressed Papariella during the announcement ceremony at NBAA-BACE. This partnership signifies Bombardier’s largest single fleet order announcement for the year, further solidifying the company’s dominance in the premium business aviation market.
