Paramount Business Jets employs one of the strictest safety policies in the industry. From vetted operators to real-time safety checks, we ensure every flight exceeds all safety margins required by law.

• Travelers from many countries must obtain a visa or an e‑Visa before entering Turkey. 

• Some nationals are visa‑exempt, allowing entry without a visa for short stays (tourism/business) up to a certain number of days (e.g. 90 days within 180 days).

• There is also a visa‑on‑arrival option for some nationalities, but this is less common and sometimes more expensive than doing the e‑Visa in advance.

• For U.S. citizens: You used to need an e‑Visa or visa in advance, but as of January 2024, Turkey has dropped the visa requirement for U.S., Canadian, and Mexican citizens from what’s been reported. That means passport holders from those countries no longer need to apply in advance; a valid passport is sufficient for entry (up to allowable durations). 

Yes, but they are typically fast and discreet via private terminals (FBOs). Your Aviation Advisor will coordinate all customs and immigration arrangements.

Most private jets do have Wi-Fi, but not all. It’s best to let your Paramount Aviation Advisor know that Wi-Fi is important. Some operators charge extra, and some include it in the charter price.

Yes, empty legs are more easily accessible on popular routes. Empty legs (one-way repositioning flights) can offer up to 75% off regular charter pricing. Ask your Aviation Advisor for current availability.

Yes! Pets are welcome in the cabin, but please inform your Paramount Aviation Advisor beforehand. We’ll ensure the selected operator is pet-friendly and properly prepared.
