Middle Eastern business aircraft operators flying to Britain can expect a special welcome at London Biggin Hill Airport (Stand No. 724). Bahrain-based executive charter operator Rizon Jet is building an executive terminal there, which is designed to meet the needs and preferences of Middle Eastern customers. The full-service FBO is due to open next August. The facility will also serve as a base for Rizon’s planned entry into the European charter market.

The Rizon FBO will offer an alternative to Biggin Hill’s terminal building, as well as the Jet Aviation FBO there. It will occupy a site that previously was to have been developed by charter broker Air Partner as a business aviation enclave, largely to support its own charter operations. Air Partner’s facility will now be built on the other side of the airport where it can construct a hangar tall enough to accommodate aircraft up to the size of a Boeing Business Jet.
