Paramount Airways - History

History

The airline started operations in October 2005 with the company head-quartered in Madurai, also the location of Paramount Textiles. It operated to regional destinations in south and eastern India until early 2010.

The airline ceased operations when legal issues arose between Paramount Airways and the lessors of their Embraer aircraft. These events caused a gradual termination of all services as the fleet was grounded and seized by the leasing companies.

In November 2010, it was announced that Paramount Airways had won their legal battle and were set to resume services with a fleet of Airbus and Bombardier aircraft. Normalisation of the route network was scheduled for December 2010, but did not materialise.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

    “They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
    Change horses, making history change its tune,
    Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
    Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
    Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”
    —Henry Ford (1863–1947)
