Charter Broker Paramount Unveils Supplemental-lift Program

Private jet charter broker and membership card provider Paramount Business Jets has introduced a supplemental-lift program called Corporate Wing Solutions. Paramount noted that crew shortages, supply-chain issues, and multi-year new aircraft delivery delays have all contributed to an increased need for supplemental lift. 

"We see corporate operators facing increasing challenges meeting their lift needs," said Paramount founder and CEO Richard Zaher. "Today, outsourcing lift for times of maximum demand is often the most economical and reliable option."

The corporate lift program blends elements of Paramount’s tiered jet card membership with benefits and rates tailored to each flight department's requirements, routes, usage, and budget. Supplemental lift is sourced from a fleet of 4,000 aircraft in the company’s vetted global operator network, with all operators being Argus Gold, which entails crew vetting and a safety analysis but no on-site audit, or the equivalent. Paramount provides clients with a copy of the invoice from operators for each flight, detailing the wholesale cost, line-item charges, and commission.
