LEESBURG, Va., Feb. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The team at renowned worldwide private jet charter advisory firm Paramount Business Jets (PBJ) pride themselves on delivering a higher level of service and unparalleled assistance while representing their members' interests in the aviation marketplace. Marcel Rosetto may attest to that commitment firsthand.

Marcel, who works for a Gulf-based international airline, contacted Paramount late last year while researching prices to charter an aircraft as a memorable way to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Em. "I needed to plan something special," he recalls. "I always want to be different. We met while working on a flight [in 2010] so I thought it would be interesting to do something along those lines."

He spoke with PBJ CEO and founder Richard Zaher, who over the next few months provided him with a variety of cost-effective charter options tailored to Marcel's budget and requirements. Perhaps most importantly, Richard also offered his valuable knowledge and advice to the charter novice ranging from what kind of equipment to look for, to reviewing the crew and safety standards.

"Richard and I exchanged dozens of emails. From the beginning, he told me that he would help me find the right match - even if that wasn't necessarily with PBJ," Marcel adds. "He was a huge part in making this happen, and I was amazed that the leader of a company would communicate with me almost daily. It wasn't until I noticed his signature on the fourth or fifth email that I realized he was the CEO!"

On December 24, Marcel flew to pick Em and her sister up from their home in Bangkok. They then flew to spend Christmas at his family's home in Canada, where five days later he awoke them for a spontaneous shopping trip. Things took an unusual turn when, after a short sojourn to the mall, they stopped by Calgary International Airport.

Thanks in part to Richard's guidance, Marcel had selected an Embraer Phenom 100 very-light jet operated by Canadian charter provider SkyService, which was also the company that gave Marcel his first job in aviation several years ago. "I told her we would take a picture with an aircraft, in keeping with our connection to aviation and how we met," Marcel says. "I then came back out and said, "'you won't believe this, but they want to take the two of us on a tour of the Rockies."

Marcel popped the question to his stunned fiance at 25,000 feet. "I can't believe how this all came together!" he exclaims. "I'm never able to surprise her – and, in fact, I almost didn't. After I gave her the bouquet of flowers, one of the captains came back ready to say 'Congratulations' – but I wasn't ready yet! Finally, when I did propose – she never answered! She had a big smile on her face, but she could not speak!"

Em finally calmed Marcel's nerves by holding her hand out, so he could place the ring on her finger.

Operating under the core principles of Trust and Transparency and a strong commitment to building client relationships, the professional "jet smart" charter advisors at Paramount Business Jets research over 1,000 trips per month for their Members. They have access to over 15,000 business aircraft worldwide, ranging from small jets and helicopters up to the largest and most luxurious intercontinental aircraft.

"While Marcel ultimately found his own option thanks to his prior relationships within the industry, I am still incredibly pleased and proud to have been a part of this process," Richard says. "It's a good day's work when you can say you've made another friend in this business."

As Marcel and Em look forward to their March 18 wedding, Marcel also appreciates his friendship with Richard, and his relationship with Paramount Business Jets. "I feel almost embarrassed that Richard never made a dollar from all the help he gave me," he concludes. "The aviation industry is a small community, built on relationships and – above all – trust. I owe Richard a lot, and look forward to using and recommending Paramount in the very near future."
