It is a great pleasure for Paramount to partner with VietJet Air. The aviation market in Asia continues to show strong growth. The emergence of VietJet Air in the Vietnamese market is one of the results of this strong market growth.
VietJet began scheduled operations on 24 December from their primary base of operation in Ho Chi Minh City.
This photo is taken of the crew of VietJet’s inaugural flight. Congratulations to everyone at VietJet on a wonderful milestone. We look forward to a long-term relationship with VietJet and wish them much success in 2012 and beyond.

We pride ourselves on providing better service to both our crews and customers than any other agency in the world.  It is a tall order because there are some great companies we contend with.  Having good competition helps keep everyone focused on maintaining a high level of excellence.

Whenever someone asks me how to know if an agency is “Good” or not I always advise them to find someone who has worked with that agency.  There is no better source of information than direct feedback.

It is my pleasure to present feedback from two pilots who recently worked with Mr. Leonardo Garcia during.  These are both unsolicited letters sent by the pilots: Continue reading →

This is the first of a three-part series dealing with the increased demand for air crews – specifically; trained, qualified pilots. The aviation industry has experienced a tremendous surge in demand since the end of 2009 for pilots. The aviation sector is rapidly moving forward.

There is a direct tie between the future demand for air travel and two key market indicators: 1) Aircraft orders, and 2) Traffic Growth. While these two indicators are often interdependent, they are fantastic predictors of the increased number of “seats” that must be filled by trained, qualified pilots. Continue reading →
