Rizon names new group CEO

Dubai, September 9, 2009

Rizon, the Middle East and UK-based business aviation service company, has appointed Swiss-born Patrick Enz as  its new Group Chief Executive Officer.

Enz, a former vice president at Jet Aviation will succeed Will Curtis, who will step down after two years spearheading the development of the company in Doha, Qatar and London Biggin Hill, said a company statement.

The brand new 120,000 sq ft hangar facilities housing new MRO and FBO activity at both locations are now close to opening, it added.

Enz brings to Rizon considerable experience in the industry in both business/executive aviation and airline activity – including management roles for Swissair and Lufthansa AG – and in developing markets and customer relationships in the VVIP-segment and turn-key projects (MRO/FBOs) in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and South America.

Prior to running his own business aviation consultancy, he was vice president Business Development at Jet Aviation Management AG in Zurich.

“I have greatly enjoyed working with the terrific team that makes up Rizon and I have every confidence that the company will be in very capable hands under Patrick’s guidance,” said Will Curtis.  “I have enjoyed my time in the GCC and the experience has greatly enriched my outlook on life,” he added.

“I am very proud to join Rizon Group and will do everything in my power to lead it to the next level in its already remarkable history,” said Enz.  “I thank Will for his valuable contribution to the Group and am delighted to be given the privilege to take the next step with Rizon’s team of aviation experts,” he added.

Ahmed Al-Mannai of Rizon’s Board of Directors said,  “We are extremely pleased to announce the appointment of Patrick as our new Group CEO and are looking forward to working together with him towards establishing Rizon as the leading business aviation company in the Middle East and placing it among the top quality firms on the global market.”-TradeArabia News Service
