New Delhi: Chennai-based business class carrier, Paramount Airways, is planning to increase its fleet to 20 air planes by 2011.

It will also enhance its on-board service by
launching in-flight mobile service after getting approval from regulatory authorities.

Presently, it has five aircraft and is planning to induct Brazil-made Embraer and turboprop aircraft, that are smaller jets which can seat 75 passengers and suitable for landing on shorter runways.
