The total value of these orders is over $32bn since 2010. It's a real sign of confidence in both the sector and the economy as a whole when the large operators place orders of this magnitude. This confidence certainly seems well placed, given the increasing business levels that these companies are seeing, and that we've reported on. The orders cover all aircraft types, from turbo-props to heavy jets. And all the largest companies have placed some level of orders. The chart below summarizes the orders back to 2010. | **Company** | **Date** | **Amount** | **Number** | **Aircraft Type** | |:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:| | **VistaJet** | **Dec 2012** | **$7.8bn** | **142** | **Bombardier Global** | | **NetJets** | **Jul 2012** | **$7.3bn** | **275** | **Bombardier Challenger** | | **NetJets** | **Jul 2012** | **$2.3bn** | **150** | **Cessna Citation Latitude** | | **NetJets** | **Mar 2011** | **$6.7bn** | **120** | **Bombardier Global** | | **NetJets** | **Oct 2010** | **$1.1bn** | **125** | **Embraer Phenom 300** | | **Flexjet** | **Sep 2013** | **$5.6bn** | **265** | **Learjet, Challenger** | | **Wheels Up** | **Aug 2013** | **$1.4bn** | **105** | **King Air 350** | | **Flight Options** | **Oct 2010** | **$0.2bn** | **40** | **Nextant 400XT** | The figures in the "Amount" and "Number" columns above, are for the totals in each case, so they include both firm orders and related options. For instance the [NetJets July 2012 order for Challenger](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/netjets-midsize-order.html) aircraft consisted of 100 firm orders and 175 options, for a total of 275 jets. The [Wheels Up launch order](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/dichter-launches-wheels-up.html) in 2013, was billed as a $1.4bn order, but this also includes a maintenance agreement for the King Airs. Flight Options also ordered a total of 150 Embraer Phenom 300's in 2007, with an approximate value of $1.2bn. As you can see from the number above, NetJets, the biggest private aviation company, accounts for about $17.5bn of orders or slightly over half of the total. ### Related Items #### [Solairus Acquiring Clay Lacy Aircraft Management & Charter Divisions](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/solairus-acquire-clay-lacy.html) #### [Jet Linx Launches Owner Aircraft Exchange to Address Aircraft Downtime](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/jet-linx-owner-aircraft-exchange.html) #### [Preowned Business Aircraft Market Robust at Q2 2025](https://www.sherpareport.com/private-aviation-news/preowned-aircraft-q2-2025.html) #### [Ongoing High Demand for Used Business Aircraft in 2022](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/high-demand-used-aircraft.html) #### [Used Business Jet Sales Are Surging](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/used-jet-sales-surging.html) #### [An Introduction to Flying on Private Aircraft](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/intro-private-flying.html) #### [New Business Jet Sales Up in 2018](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/sales-business-jets-2018.html) #### [Is Whole Aircraft Ownership Right For You?](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/aircraft-ownership-right.html) #### [New Business Jet Sales Rise Slightly in 2017](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/sales-business-jets-2017.html) #### [New Business Jet Sales Drop in 2016](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/sales-business-jets-2016.html) #### [Updated Forecasts for New Private Jet Sales](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/private-jet-market-2016.html) #### [Sales of New Business Jets in 2015](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/sales-new-business-jets-2015.html) ### SherpaReport monthly newsletter First Name Email Comments ### Latest News in Private Aviation ![](https://www.sherpareport.com/images/Magell-legacy-250.jpg) #### [ Magellan Adds Flexibility To Its Jet Cards ](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/magellan-flexibility-cards.html) ![](https://www.sherpareport.com/images/stories/planes/Premier-Hawker800-250.jpg) #### [ Premier Private Jets at a Glance: Products, Fleet, and Infrastructure ](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/premier-private-jets-overview.html) ![Mike Silvestro opening Farnborough FBO](https://www.sherpareport.com/images/stories/planes/Flex-Mike_Silvestro-Farn-250.jpg) #### [ Inside Flexjet’s New Farnborough Terminal and Red Label Academy Expansion ](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/inside-flexjets-farnborough-terminal.html) ![](https://www.sherpareport.com/images/stories/planes/flyte-vision-N440MA-250.jpg) #### [ Flyte: A Focused Regional Vision Jet Operator ](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/flyte-vision-jet-operator.html) ![](https://www.sherpareport.com/images/stories/planes/NetJets-P500-250.jpg) #### [ How Old Is the Private Jet You Are Flying On? ](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/how-old-private-jet.html) ![](https://www.sherpareport.com/images/stories/planes/ClayLacy-Charter-250-2.jpg) #### [ Solairus Acquiring Clay Lacy Aircraft Management & Charter Divisions ](https://www.sherpareport.com/aircraft/solairus-acquire-clay-lacy.html) ### Aviation Company Profiles ![Aviation Company Profiles](https://www.sherpareport.com/images/company-profiles/CompanyProfile.png) Details on the leading private aviation companies, including aircraft management companies, fractional operators, charter operators and brokers. - [Find out more](https://www.sherpareport.com/aviation-company-profile/) ### SherpaReport Membership Get the latest, updated data and insights on the leading fractional jet programs, leading private jet card and membership programs, and the top-rated charter operators.
