Rizon Jet, the Arabian Gulf-based aircraft charter and management group, is looking to bridge the European and Middle Eastern markets by establishing new bases at the Qatari capital Doha and London’s Biggin Hill Airport. The company, which originally aspired to a low-cost, light jet business model, is focusing on the higher end of the charter sector. It also wants to exploit the seasonal fluctuations that see large numbers of Middle Eastern travelers flocking north to avoid the heat of the summer months, and Europeans heading in the opposite direction during winter months.
Here at the EBACE show (Booth No. 953) Rizon Jet has announced the appointment of industry veteran Andrew Pearce as its sales and marketing director for Europe. Pearce, who has joined the company from TAG Aviation, will be based at the new $16 million Biggin Hill facility which is due to open in October. He has also previously worked for Twinjet and Marshall Executive Aviation.
