Rizon Jet is to manage and operate an Airbus ACJ on behalf of a new Arab Gulf client. Patrick Enz, ceo, says: "Delivery of the 'green' aircraft is planned for next year with the outfitted ACJ being handed over to the customer in 2012. The interior will reflect the latest standards of luxury in business aviation."

He adds: "Our client wants a comfortable and spacious environment for his family and friends during his travels. The new ACJ ticks all the boxes and moving into the management and operation of an ACJ was both a natural and desirable step for us."

Rizon Jet is offering client consulting services in the design and completion process. Enz says ACJ clients benefit from good value retention, the latest in satellite phone technology, modern navigation aids such as GPS, and worldwide support that includes features tailored to corporate jets.

The current managed Rizon Jet fleet comprises one Global Express XRS, one Hawker 900XP and two Challenger 605s, all operating on the Qatari Air Operating Permit. Oryx Jet, Rizon Jet's UK affiliate, is managing another Hawker 900XP and one Premier 1A.

Rizon Jet has also appointed Private Flight Global as preferred in flight catering partner.

Enz says: "The company's technology enables orders to be placed instantly from virtually anywhere via a secure online platform, even via iPhone or iPad, and that was the driver in selecting Private Flight."

Shamir Samdjee, Private Flight director of Europe and Middle East, says: "We are expanding our business and moving into new territories such as Russia and Asia."
