Rizon, the Bahrain-based executive
jet company is bringing its unique
product offering to Europe.
It has
selected London Biggin Hill Airport,
UK as its operating base and parent
company Rizon Group Holdings has
secured an 80 year lease on land at the
airport where it is in the process of
constructing a new $20 million dollar,
13,000 sq m hangar and ramp area.
The build is advancing according to
schedule according to Rizon Group
Holdings CEO, William (Will) Curtis.
The Bahrain-based executive jet company is
positioning for some dramatic expansion over
the next 18 months.
A second Hawker 900XP
will join its existing fleet mid 2009.
Three
Bombardier Challenger 605’s are due to enter
service imminently, the first in December
2008, with the following two due in March
2009 and November 2009, respectively.
Rizon has also entered into a co-operative
deal with undisclosed partners to re-engineer
five CRJ200 airliners to a specification similar
to the Challenger 850.
“These versatile and
spacious aircraft, which are less than 10 years
old, will cost us well under $14 million ready
to enter service by September 2010,” says
Curtis.
“We see a high demand for cost
efficient group travel solutions and these
aircraft will be ideal, both in the GCC and
Europe.
” At least two of the aircraft will be
based at Rizon’s planned new London Biggin
Hill Airport, UK facility.
The converted CRJ’s will be equipped with
16 seats in a traditional mix of arm chair,
conference grouping and divan, with
exceptional baggage capacity and a maximum
range of 3,200nm.
With full seats and baggage
range is expected to be well over 2,200nm.
Fresh overhauls will be conducted on the
engines during overhaul and paint and interior
will be identical on all five aircraft.
A full
modern IFE system is to be included in the
specification, along with an Airshow 4000
system.
“Depreciation is likely to be minimal during
our tenure and we should be able to put these
aircraft, which will be more or less identical to
the Challenger 850, into service at a very
appealing price point,” says Curtis.
Rizon currently runs charter services in the
Middle East, a region which saw a 40% growth
in private aviation last year.
It also runs charter
services to Asia, China, India, Russia, Africa
and Europe.
At the end of December last year, Rizon
ushered in new ownership when the company
was acquired by Ghanim Bin Saad Al Saad, a
Qatari national who is chairman of the Barwa
