An FAA Part 135 certificate is the approval a company needs to fly on-demand charter for hire in the United States. Before issuing it, the FAA reviews the company's manuals, pilots, training, maintenance programme and every aircraft it adds, and its inspectors keep auditing the operation. An aircraft flown privately under Part 91 cannot legally be sold to you as a charter. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote. How we check operators.
Company
About Paragon Airways
C.C. Calzone trades as Paragon Airways, a charter operator headquartered at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California. Its fleet of about ten business jets is built mostly around Cessna Citations: four Citation Excels, two Citation Xs, a Citation Encore and a Citation Bravo, along with a Gulfstream IV and a Bombardier jet.
That mix covers most private trips from Southern California. The light and midsize Citations suit short hops to Las Vegas, San Francisco, Phoenix or the ski resorts, the Citation X is one of the fastest business jets and suits coast to coast trips with a stop, and the Gulfstream IV has the range for nonstop flights across the United States and to Hawaii.
Paragon flies on-demand charter, works with brokers and runs its own safety and training programmes, with stated core values of safety, integrity and efficiency.
