London Biggin Hill Airport is set to get a new FBO, with Bahrain-based executive charter operator Rizon Jet having begun construction of a facility that it hopes to open next August. According to Rizon Group CEO Will Curtis, the FBO will be tailored to the needs of Middle Eastern aircraft owners and passengers, and serve as a base for Rizon’s plans to enter the European charter market.

The Rizon FBO will offer an alternative to Biggin Hill’s own terminal building, as well as the existing FBO operated by Jet Aviation. It will occupy a site that was previously earmarked for the new business aviation enclave Air Partner planned to build, largely to support its own charter operation. This facility will now be built on the other side of the airport where the charter broker can build a hangar high enough to accommodate aircraft up to the size of a Boeing Business Jet.
