FBO network operator Paragon Aviation Group (PAG) is celebrating its 15th anniversary. With the idea of creating a group of independent upscale FBOs united by shared values of quality, consistency, and collaboration, the group launched in 2011, with eight initial locations. Paragon now encompasses more than 110 facilities worldwide.
Before joining the network, each prospective FBO must first undergo an extensive audit of its facility and FBO services to ensure every arrival and departure across the network demonstrates the same commitment to service quality.
Accepted members enjoy increased business through group networking efforts while providing benefits such as shared marketing initiatives and strategic partnerships, data-driven insights, and collaborative programs.
“Celebrating 15 years is a reflection of the incredible people behind Paragon—our FBO members, strategic partners, and internal team who believe in raising the bar together,” said Crystal Kubeczka, the group’s president. “What began as an idea rooted in quality and trust has evolved into a global network that continues to move business aviation forward.”
In 2024, PAG was acquired by the Luxaviation Group. Luxaviation’s ground handling subsidiary ExecuJet had joined the Paragon network in 2017, and at that time, it purchased a majority share in the managing company.
“Our future is about evolution—not just growth,” added Kubeczka. “We are committed to expanding the network with intention…and ensuring Paragon remains a trusted standard of excellence.”
