In this paper we define generalization of paracompactness for bitopological spaces. (X, τ1, τ2) is Δ-pairwise paracompact if and only if every τi open cover admits a τ1 ∨ τ2 open refinement which is τ1 ∨ τ2 locally finite. Every quasimetric space (X, τp, τq) is Δ-pairwise paracompact. An analogue of Michael's characterization of regular paracompact spaces is proved for Δ-pairwise paracompact spaces.
