Leading the Competition
Paramount Business Jets started as a vision, to provide the highest level of service to business and private jet charter clients. As the years have gone by, the vision was realized and has grown into so much more. The “highest level” included such elements that were missing from the broker industry as Honesty, Trust, and Transparency, three concepts on which our entire company is based. As Paramount Business Jets became a leader in the Charter Broker Industry, this “highest level of service” meant a sales staff that knew more about aviation than their competition, and had a passion for Aviation. It is these realizations that have shaped Paramount Business Jets into far more than a private aviation charter brokerage, and into a total private aviation solutions provider.
We have tapped into our industries wealth of operations professionals, sales professionals, and subject matter experts to form a team of incomparable experience. It is this team that now coordinates flights in every market of our globe, for clients of an international base. The experience level of our staff allows us to be able to operate in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America, not just North America. It is this experience level that has made us a trusted source of charter not just for business men and private fliers, but even for other brokers and operators when they are seeking to fill flights outside of their areas of expertise. Wouldn’t you like to put your trip in the hands of the company the experts call when they need help? The degree of integrity at the highest ranks of Paramount Business Jets executive team creates a culture of Honesty, Trust and Transparency that flourishes at every level of our company. From the CEO to the Sales Staff, each of us believes that you deserve a quality product at a price that saves you money. Whether you are a seasoned flier, or this is your first charter, you will always receive the best we can deliver. When we find that lowest gem of a price, you will too.
Communication is a key factor that allows any organization to function at its peak performance, and it is that communication with our client that allows us to become a part of their personal aviation or business aviation solution. We do not seek to just sell our clients a trip, but to become a part of each client’s staff, working for them and with them to help them accomplish any and every trip. Every transaction, every email, every phone call is handled with the utmost integrity and professionalism. Not only does our staff know their business, they will help you accomplish yours as well. They understand what you need to get you to your destination safely, quickly and with the greatest value.

After receiving a late evening call from my wife and a friend who were vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, a medical emergency had arisen that required a quick return to the Denver area. Having some pilot experience of my own, I was not very confident that arrangements could be made to get them back to Denver by early morning. Locating a plane, pilots and the logistics of flight planning after midnight for an early morning flight did not seem too likely. Luckily I contacted Paramount and within a few hours all the details had been arranged and a plane was landing to return them to Denver within minutes of the airport opening in San Jose del Cabo. I can't say enough about the professional manner and detail that went into handling this emergency and returning them back to Denver. The personal attention and follow-up calls informing me of flight progress was exceptional and I could not have been more impressed with the entire process. Thanks again.Jim Herriott – Human Resources – USA

Trans-Atlantic Private Jet Flyers Find Unique Window to Huge Savings
Trans-Atlantic private jet flights to and from the US and Europe or Middle East can be some of the most expensive trips a private flyer can take. Making these trips nonstop requires some of the largest and longest ranged aircraft equipped with flight attendant, full onboard amenities and sleeping configurations. A typical Van Nuys to Paris flight on a Gulfstream V can run as high as $270,000 if one is paying for the aircraft to return to its home base. The price tag can be higher if the aircraft is coming from Europe or Middle East.

Paramount Business Jets releases private jet cost calculator
Inflexible airline schedules, a lack of flights, missed connections and delays are but a few sources of frustration for regular business travelers. Even larger groups (such as sports teams) would find it difficult to get 60 people through security, checked onto a commercial flight while making sure that luggage and equipment arrived in a timely manner. In contrast, on-demand travel provides these travelers with operational flexibility and the ability to react intelligently to changing business situations whether on the ground or in the air.
When calculating the cost of private travel, there are a number or variables that need to be involved to determine the actual productivity, trip expenses and family time saved by traveling via business aircraft versus airline alternatives. Some of these variables include: Read full article

This is complemented by an extensive security check of passengers and the aircraft before the aircraft is allowed to continue on to Vancouver. Furthermore, all aircraft operators are required to secure a ramp reservation, a slot time reservation to the gateway airport where security checks will be performed and an additional slot time reservation at Vancouver International.
