Paragon Aviation Group, facilitator of the Paragon Network of audited FBOs and international handling agents, has announced the annual recipients for its 2020 Network Member Awards including the first ever Diamond Partner Award, recognising a key vendor in its Strategic Partner programme. Go Rentals, the US car rental company specialising in the private jet industry, was the recipient of the award.

“This is a huge honour since Paragon Member FBOs and Paragon Preferred flight departments overwhelmingly voted for Go Rentals,” says Megan Barnes, president of Paragon Aviation Group. “Not only has Go Rentals been a wonderful partner to many of our member FBOs, but flight departments are consistently pleased with its diamond level of service.”

Launched in 2019, the Strategic Partners programme offers exclusive pricing to Paragon Preferred customers. Before a company can join Strategic Partners the advisory board, which is made up of industry leaders, must approve each company based on stringent criteria including customer service, quality and company history.

Companies work transparently to provide competitive or favoured nation pricing and span several categories from promotional items to maintenance services. Current vendors include Aero Law Group, Aircare International, Airtight Aviation Services, FlightBridge, GGT Worldwise Secure Chauffeured Services, Go Rentals, Jaylynn Promotions, JetASAP, Lowcountry Aviation MRO, RBR Aviation MRO, Skyplan, Sterile USA and Torn Ranch.

There are three packages for vendors to choose from, all receiving consistent communication with thousands of individuals in their target market. The Premium, Plus and VIP packages all include social media sharing, tradeshow recognition and ads in Paragon's monthly e-newsletters.
