The MRO facility will be focusing on its maintenance capabilities with Rizon Jet now holding approvals for Bombardier Challenger 604/605 and Hawker 900XP aircraft. It also provides support on wheels, tyres and batteries.

For the longer term, Rizon is also pursuing approvals for maintenance accreditation on Bermudian, Isle of Man, Pakistan, UAE and Saudi Arabian-registered aircraft.

With its new large hangar due to open this week, it  is capable of accommodating four Global XRS or nine Challenger 604/605 aircraft. Adjoined in-house workshops and technical offices are covering 1,579 sq m.

Rizon Jet’s maintenance team  will be led by Faisal Alam, General Manager of Rizon Jet Middle East and Paul Macintyre who joined Rizon Jet as Manager of Maintenance from Ocean Sky Engineering where he set up an EASA 145 Bombardier approved aircraft maintenance facility.

Patrick Enz, Chief Executive, said: “Our aircraft maintenance team has worked very hard for this achievement and we are very proud to have obtained the certification of Qatar CAA. The maintenance division together with the inauguration of the FBO/VIP Terminal in Doha and London Biggin Hill in the next days will complete our range of services.”
