Our Story
Aviation Is In Our Blood
A Family Built on Private Aviation
BusinessJetz International traces its roots to 1976 — nearly five decades of continuous presence in private aviation. For us, this industry has never been just a career. It is a family legacy.
Growing up with a father who flew private aircraft left a lasting impression. Long before I ever set foot on a commercial airliner, I was already flying on small private aircraft. That early exposure shaped everything about how I approach this work — with a genuine appreciation for what private aviation offers and a deep respect for doing it right.
Becky Cochran, our owner, has been with the company since 1994 and has built her reputation on one principle: know your clients, know your aircraft, and never cut corners on either. That philosophy runs through everything we do.
I'm Jaime Paris, Charter Manager, and I have been working in this industry for nearly 29 years. Some of the clients I work with today are the same ones I started with at the very beginning of my career. That kind of long-term trust is not something you can manufacture — it is earned, one flight at a time.
Why It Matters
Experience an App Simply Cannot Replace
The Right Aircraft for the Job
Not every aircraft is right for every trip. Runway length, range, cabin layout, operator safety record, positioning costs — these variables matter and they interact. An experienced broker evaluates all of them before making a recommendation. We select the aircraft that fits your mission, your budget, and your standards — not simply whatever is available.
Accurate Pricing, Not Estimates
App-generated quotes are built on algorithms that cannot account for real-time market conditions, actual aircraft positioning, or operator-specific pricing. An experienced broker works from live availability and direct operator relationships. That means the number you receive reflects what a flight actually costs — not a computer's best guess that changes at checkout.
Someone in Your Corner
Private aviation does not always go according to plan. Weather, mechanicals, schedule changes — when something comes up, you need a person who already knows your trip, your priorities, and your expectations. A broker who has worked with you for years does not need to be briefed. They are already on it.
Who We Serve
Boutique Service for Discerning Travelers
Our clients are busy executives and private travelers alike — people who fly private for all kinds of reasons, whether that's schedule demands, privacy, comfort, traveling with pets, or mobility considerations. who value their time, their privacy, and a seamless travel experience. They are not looking for the cheapest option — they are looking for the right one.
We intentionally operate as a boutique brokerage. That means every client receives direct, personal attention — not a call center, not a ticketing queue. You work with someone who knows your preferences and is accountable for every detail of your flight.
We also have the capability to arrange sports team travel, air ambulance flights, and cargo charters when the need arises. Whatever the mission, we approach it with the same standard of care.
