Gama prepares to offer MRO services from Sharjah base

Gama Aviation FZE becomes a subsidiary of the growing Gama Group MENA FZC. This new company structure has been introduced in readiness for the start of maintenance services at its new 12,000 sqm hangar facility at Sharjah which provides hangarage and maintenance facilities for business jet aircraft.

Gama is now actively in the process of securing its UAE GCAA CAR 145 maintenance approval which it hopes to receive later this year.  Initially, the approval will allow the company to undertake line maintenance support on its growing fleet of aircraft, thereby mirroring its capabilities in Europe and the USA, as well as base maintenance for number of business jet types.  
 
The UAE fleet currently offers three aircraft for charter including the Challenger 850. Added in December 2010, the 850 is already demonstrating its suitability for the region through regular charters, particularly between the UAE and other GCC states. A sixth aircraft is expected to join imminently and will add a third manufacturer type to the fleet.
 
Significantly across the bases in Europe, Americas and Middle East, Gama is now Wyvern-approved for its commitment to improving aviation safety. In the USA it has just been accredited with Level 3 SMS, becoming only the second Part 135 business jet operator to be afforded such status.
