History


Paramount ordered two new McDonnell Douglas MD-83 airliners, the first was delivered on 24 April 1987 to allow operations to start on 1 May 1987.[2] During the European winter the airline operated charter flights from Gatwick Airport to Goa.[1] The airline acquired two more MD-83s for the 1988 charter season.[3]

In 1989 the company entered administration with debts of £11 million, it was also under examination by the Serious Fraud Office over the loss of £13.5 million by the Eagle Trust which it had close links and shared a chairman.[4][5]

The company also operated Cessna Citation executive jets as Paramount Executive.
