Based at London-Biggin Hill, Oryx Jet begins operations this month with a new flagship: a Bombardier Global 5000. The company already operates a managed fleet of Hawker, Falcon 50 and Challenger jets, plus a number of helicopters.

The Global 5000 provides true intercontinental range and increased capacity to the company’s offerings. An understandably delighted Oryx Jet CEO, Mike Russell, said of the Global 5000 that, “it enforces our business strategy to deliver our clients with unparalleled VIP business travel options to all corners of the world.”

Oryx Jet’s Global 5000 operates from the FBO/MRO facility of affiliate Rizon Jet. The aircraft boasts state-of-the-art cabin electronic systems, and can accommodate up to 12 passengers in great comfort. It has two bathrooms and a semi-separate lounge/bedroom.
