Paradise Jets

Paradise Jets is a private aviation company headquartered at Scottsdale Airport in Scottsdale, Arizona. It describes itself as an aircraft operator that flies under its own FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate rather than as a broker, and says it carries an ARGUS rating.

The company groups its services under several programs: JetLife for on-demand and block charter with set pricing, JetShare for fractional co-ownership with an equity interest in an aircraft, JetEquity for aircraft management, JetTrade for aircraft sales and acquisitions, and JetStrategy for advisory work on which ownership or charter structure fits a client.

Paradise Jets states that it operates its own aircraft and crews, but its website does not publish a fleet list, aircraft types or counts. Flyers comparing options should ask which aircraft would be used for a given trip and whether it is on the company's own certificate.

The company was co-founded by Jamie Thomas, who serves as president and reports more than 11,000 flight hours. The firm says its team has over 25 years of combined aviation experience, and an independent ARGUS listing shows it as rated since 2021.
