Paramount Business Jets Celebrates Two Decades of Leadership and Innovation in Private Aviation

Paramount Business Jets Celebrates 20 Years of Excellence

Paramount Business Jets (PBJ), a leading name in private aviation, recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, reflecting a remarkable journey from a small startup to a dominant player in the industry. Founded by Richard Zaher, the company began in 2005 with just a modest loan from family and a commitment to establishing a culture of honesty and safety in air travel.

The celebration, held at the luxurious Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, brought together PBJ’s global team for a three-day gala that honored not just the achievements of the company, but also the dedication and hard work of its employees. Zaher expressed pride in PBJ’s mission, stating, "From day one, we aimed to elevate the standards of private aviation, a goal that remains central to our operations today."

Over the past two decades, PBJ has achieved numerous milestones, establishing standards that have reshaped the private jet charter sector. The company boasts an A+ accreditation from the Better Business Bureau and has been recognized multiple times in the Inc. 5000 list for its consistent growth and high levels of client satisfaction. "Consistently five-star rated on platforms like Google and Trustpilot, PBJ is known for its transparent and personalized service," Zaher noted.

Among its pioneering achievements, PBJ developed the world's first fully transparent Jet Card program and introduced the industry's first open-source carbon offset tool in 2019. This innovative approach promotes sustainability in private aviation, demonstrating PBJ’s commitment to not just quality service, but also environmental responsibility.

The company also prides itself on educational initiatives, partnering with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Zaher has been actively involved in supporting the next generation of aviation leaders through scholarships, illustrating the company’s commitment to community and education.

Beyond its business milestones, PBJ has made significant contributions to social causes. Through its humanitarian missions to McDowell County, West Virginia, and support for various charities, PBJ emphasizes that business success should come with a sense of purpose. "Every flight is an opportunity to make a difference," Zaher remarked during the anniversary celebration.

The celebration also served as an occasion to recognize long-serving employees and contributors who have been integral in realizing Zaher’s vision. A heartfelt tribute was paid to Zaher’s parents, whose initial investment made the company's formation possible, underscoring a fundamental theme of the anniversary: collective effort and shared success.

Zaher concluded by reaffirming the company’s forward-thinking vision: "With our exceptional team and a steadfast commitment to integrity, innovation, and client service, we are just getting started."

As PBJ enters its third decade, it continues to set the industry benchmark for private aviation, providing flexible and personalized charter services with an unwavering dedication to transparency and quality. The company remains committed to making a remarkable impact not only in aviation but also in society at large, introducing new standards and practices for a brighter and more responsible future in private air travel.
