The civil aviation authorities for Aruba and UAE have accepted Rizon Jet Doha as an approved aircraft maintenance organisation, further extending the Qatari-based business aviation company's international capabilities.

Rizon Jet chief executive officer Captain Hassan Al-Mousawi said: "This adds to our global suite of approvals at our MRO bases in Doha and London Biggin Hill and demonstrates our commitment to providing our clients with comprehensive service and support offerings."

Approvals at both bases currently include EASA Part 145, Qatar CAA Part 145, Aruba Part 145, Bermuda Part 145, and Cayman Part 145. In Doha, this also includes UAE Part 145, with Saudi Arabia Part 145 pending.

Earlier this year, Rizon Jet UK added the Lear Jet 45 to its base maintenance capability and over the summer completed several inputs, including its first 2,400 hr A/B/C/D maintenance inspection. Rizon Jet UK director of maintenance Brett Dale-Heaps said: "We returned the aircraft back into service a day ahead of the scheduled 18 calendar days' maintenance input. It went straight into a revenue flight to meet the customer's charter requirements pre-Olympics and currently remains in service with no squawks, which is a huge success for the engineering team. Our high quality service and commitment to best practice and communication ensured we met our own and our customer's objectives; returning the aircraft on time, in budget. By ensuring our client's aircraft remains available for charter, their operation remains strong, and our engineering support complements their business. Thus, both parties become successful."
