Gama Group, the global business aviation services provider, is delighted to announce today that its Middle East based business unit, Gama Aviation FZE is significantly expanding Gama's customer offering at Sharjah International Airport.

Gama's Sharjah FBO has established itself as the preferred gateway to Sharjah, Dubai and the Northern Emirates, posting a remarkable 75% increase in corporate aviation movements in the last twelve months alone. To meet this customer demand, Gama has added a further five team members to its Sharjah based ground handling and concierge team. 

This success has been achieved due to Gama's close working partnership with Sharjah Airport Authority and the Sharjah Department of Civil Aviation and builds on Gama's award last year by the United Arab Emirates General Civil Aviation Authority of its CAR Part 145 aircraft maintenance approval.

Gama's new maintenance and storage hangar at Sharjah is large enough for Boeing BBJ and Airbus ACJ aircraft, both of which are already in Gama's managed fleet. The facility also has significant space to expand Gama's regional headquarters. 

“We are delighted that our customers are recognising the value of Sharjah International Airport for business aviation, which is enabling us to commit to further investment to support and grow services in the region,” said Dave Edwards, managing director, Gama Aviation FZE. “Our Sharjah FBO has established itself as the 'stress-free' gateway for business and private visitors to Sharjah, Dubai and the Northern Emirates and is one of the first choice technical stops for business jet operators travelling from East to West. I'm confident that our current and future customers will appreciate the additional support services we are now able to provide.”

Gama is exhibiting at EBACE in Geneva this week. Stand No 1155.
