Paramount Airlines is an aviation company in Sierra Leone that used to provide a helicopter service between the capital, Freetown, and Lungi International Airport as well as other cities within the country.
Lungi airport lies across the Sierra Leone River from Freetown, which means that either air or sea transport are the only practical ways to travel between the airport and the capital, unless one travels via a three-hour roadtrip.
Paramount Airlines also flew helicopters to other places within West Africa including Abuja, Nigeria. Flights were grounded by the Sierra Leone government for safety reasons in 2007 after a flight from the capital Freetown crashed on landing at the Lungi International Airport, killing all 22 people on board.[1]
The airline is on the List of air carriers banned in the European Union.[2]
