We started the application process in June 2009 and I’m particularly pleased with the speed with which we’ve been able to drive the project forward - it’s a proud achievement for everyone. This Certificate means that we can begin providing our respected and experienced aircraft management and charter services to Middle East clients. Gama’s core strengths of safety, service and experience combined with virtually unrivalled understanding of aviation asset management provides a very attractive option to run their aircraft.”

When I founded the business I always aimed to expand into the region where I spent my childhood, and after sustained growth and development we have now achieved it.”
