PBJ introduces crypto payments for charter
The initiative is intended to offer a flexible, contemporary payment method that complements forward-thinking lifestyles and investment strategies.

Paramount Business Jets (PBJ) has begun accepting cryptocurrency as a payment option for its private jet charters.

The move makes the charter broker one of a select few in the industry to respond to rising client demand, taking a step forward to the future of payment technology.

The new payment method offers a seamless, secure and efficient experience for clients working in the tech and business sectors, who can now pay for luxury private jet travel using major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum and USD Coin.

"We are thrilled to offer cryptocurrency as a payment option," says PBJ CEO Richard Zaher. "This innovation reflects our commitment to meeting our clients' evolving needs and maintaining our position at the forefront of private aviation. Whether flying for business or leisure, our clients deserve the utmost flexibility, convenience and peace of mind."

Advantages of cryptocurrency include increased speed and efficiency, eliminating delays associated with traditional banking systems. Additionally, the new payment option provides global accessibility, allowing international clients to avoid currency conversion fees and restrictions, thus simplifying cross-border payments. The adoption of new blockchain technology also ensures enhanced security and transparency in transactions, addressing client concerns over payment safety.
