Rizon Jet awarded "Best Fixed Base Operator - Middle East" through Business Destinations 5th Annual Travel Awards 2012

Rizon Jet, the Middle East and UK-based business aviation group, a subsidiary of Ghanim bin Saad al Saad & Sons Group Holdings (GSSG), are proud to announce that its FBO / VIP Terminal at its headquarters in Doha, State of Qatar has been rewarded 'Best Fixed Base Operator - Middle East' through Business Destinations 5th Annual Travel Awards 2012.

It has long been understood that a satisfied customer rarely tells a soul, while a single unhappy customer will tell the world. As mobile technology and social networking become ubiquitous this has never been truer, with Facebook groups, Twitter hash tags and grassroots review websites making it easier than ever to convey dissatisfaction. The Business Destinations Travel Awards, now in their fifth year, offer a rare opportunity to correct this imbalance.

After just one year of operation and one month after the official inauguration of the facility, Rizon Jet is extremely proud to have been nominated as Best FBO in the Middle East. "I am honored to accept this award on behalf of my team", comments Rochdi Touri, the company's Director VIP Terminal; "Our philosophy of customer service is very simple: To make your life (or trip) easier whilst making you feel safe, secure and special through our personalized service. Every element of our operation is meticulously tailored to meet your requirements, and is executed thanks to the dedication of our highly trained and proficient team, who have experience at the very highest levels of the corporate jet industry. No detail of your individual journey is too small, from the moment you leave your home or office to your arrival at your destination. We recognize the pressures associated with your busy schedule and we aim to always exceed your expectations, whenever you fly with us or use our services."

Rizon Jet is justifiably proud of its outstanding, brand-new VIP terminals. They are the latest and most modern gateways to the Middle East and Europe. At Doha, the facility covers approximately 7,200 square metres, while the London facility covers over 6,500 square metres. Rizon Jet's customers enjoy the finest passenger amenities, including exquisite and spacious private VIP lounges, male and female prayer rooms, and exclusive shower and changing room facilities. The terminals also offer meeting facilities, including boardrooms with the latest communication technology and secretarial support. The skilled ground staff help to make your journey as smooth as possible by providing full ground handling capabilities that include flight planning and passenger management. They also assist you with concierge services such as customs and immigration, limousine transfers and hotel reservations. Whatever you need, Rizon Jet has the perfect solution.

At each of its bases and offices, Rizon Jet provides a comprehensive portfolio of private, executive and corporate aviation services, all to the very highest standards. These specialised business units encompass: Aircraft Charter & Management, Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO), Fixed Base Operation (VIP lounges), as well as Aircraft Sales & Acquisition and Consultancy. Rizon Jet is the only Qatar based company that can provide aircraft management and charter solutions both in the Middle East and Europe. Rizon Jet is in the unique position of providing this service in Europe through the UK affiliated company, Oryx Jet. Award-winning Oryx Jet has its operational base at London Biggin Hill Airport and will provide you with legendary hospitality, whether you are seeking luxury, dependability or simply a bit of privacy.

"Being passionate about our business and investing in our people will always remain one of our first priorities. It's not just the facility, but the people that make the difference", Captain Hassan Al- Mousawi, Chief Executive Officer, states; "Our business in the Middle East and Europe continues to grow and new opportunities keep presenting themselves. We are seeing this as a true testament to the increasing strength of the Rizon Jet brand. This is very exciting and we are committed to maintaining the momentum we have built up in terms of providing the highest service levels and we are pleased to set a new benchmark for our competitors."
