Immediately following a new co-branding deal with global aviation services provider ExecuJet, the ExecuJet Samson Executive Jet Center at the UK’s Newcastle International Airport (EGNT) is now the latest member of the Paragon Aviation Network.
Located on the airport’s south apron, the FBO—which is open 24/7 with prior notice—offers a VIP lounge, conference room, crew lounge, flight planning area, concierge, and customs assistance.
For the Paragon network, this marks the 63rd facility to join. Each prospective member must first undergo a comprehensive audit of their facilities and services prior to acceptance and then adhere to a set of core standards to remain a member.
“Our goal is to provide every passenger and crew member with the best FBO experience possible while focusing on safety, service, reliability, quality, and value,” said Paragon Aviation Group president Megan Barnes. “With the addition of the ExecuJet Samson Executive Jet Center at the second-busiest airport in Northern England, our network has grown to over 20 countries and covers many of the predominant travel destinations worldwide.”
