Paramount sells $1m Black Card to fractional owner
The Black Card offering includes short-notice flight coordination, third-party safety oversight and refundable capital held in segregated accounts.
Richard Zaher, founder and CEO of Paramount Business Jets, says fractional owners are pairing routine travel programmes with jet cards or charter for added flexibility.

Paramount Business Jets has sold a $1,000,000 Black Card membership to a long-time fractional owner, highlighting a growing shift toward blended private aviation strategies.

The client added the transparent jet card alongside an existing fractional programme, creating what the company describes as a more versatile aviation portfolio. The approach combines the predictability of ownership with the flexibility of on-demand charter access.

The Black Card tier includes short-notice flight coordination, safety oversight with third-party verification, refundable capital held in segregated accounts and a dedicated senior advisor.

Zaher adds: “We are proud to serve as both a trusted alternative and a valuable complement to traditional fractional programmes. Our goal is simple, to give clients more options, better value and complete peace of mind on every journey.”

The transaction points to a wider trend among high-net-worth travellers who are combining ownership and charter solutions to improve access, responsiveness and value.
