Gama Aviation’s charter fleet has been joined by a Learjet 45, a Gulfstream IVSP and a Hawker 1000. The Lear 45 entered the fleet at the beginning of May and has replaced Gama’s recently-retired Lear 35A. Within days of receiving CAA approval, the Hawker had flown direct to Accra, Ghana and the Learjet had become a regular visitor to Russia.

In addition, the company is opening new offices in the business aviation centre at Farnborough Airport. Paul Cremer, commercial manager, said: “The arrival of the new aircraft is an exciting time for us all, especially as the Hawker 1000 offers the range that the 800s lack. Direct flights to Ghana are just one example of its abilities.”
