In an effort to increase benefits to its FBO member network, Paragon Aviation Group has partnered with industry consultancy FBO Partners. According to FBO Partners president and senior partner Douglas Wilson, Paragon has leveraged its buying power to negotiate a significant discount for its members for a wide variety of aviation-related services offered by his company, such as advice on mergers and acquisitions, airport lease negotiations, real estate (hangar and office) negotiations, IS-BAH implementation and auditing, RFQ/RFP response, customer service training, staffing and other topics, as well as discount admission to FBO Partners’ NATA-sponsored workshop on hangar subleasing to be held in Chicago in May.

“FBO Partners is unlike any offering in the industry today,” said Paragon executive vice president Megan Barnes. “It offers a professional approach to problem solving that is both intelligent and real-world, and an enormous value to our members.”

Among the latest additions to the Paragon network are the Ross Aviation FBOs at California’s Long Beach Airport/Daugherty Field (formerly AirFlite), and New York’s Westchester County Airport, along with Tunica Air Center in Mississippi and the recently rebranded Quantem FBO, now Odyssey Aviation Detroit, at Michigan’s Willow Run Airport, bringing the total number of Paragon members to nearly 30 in the U.S. Canada, Caribbean and Northern Ireland.
