Gama takes part in IBAC Industry Partner scheme
Joining IBAC as an Industry Partner aligns with Gama's broad operational scope and underscores its long-term commitment to contributing to the development of international standards that benefit the industry at large.
The great and the good.

Gama Aviation is participating in the International Business Aviation Council's (IBAC) Industry Partner programme. The announcement was confirmed during EBACE 2025, held in Geneva this May, with Graham Williamson, managing director of aircraft management and charter, signing on behalf of the company.

With operations spanning aircraft management, charter, MRO and FBO services, Gama supports clients across the full lifecycle of business aviation. The company also delivers critical capabilities through its special mission teams, and technology and outsourcing division, which provides scalable infrastructure, compliance and digital support across the aviation sector. Joining IBAC as an Industry Partner aligns with this broad operational scope and underscores Gama Aviation's long-term commitment to contributing to the development of international standards that benefit the industry at large.

Graham Williamson comments: “Our participation in IBAC's Industry Partner programme allows us to contribute directly to the development of global aviation standards. Business aviation has unique operational needs, and it's vital these are understood and reflected at the regulatory level. We're committed to representing those interests through our involvement with IBAC.”

Marwan Khalek, founder and group CEO, commented: “As a multinational aviation services business, we have a responsibility to help shape the environment in which we operate on behalf of our clients, whether they are high net worth individuals or government agencies. To achieve this aim, we must contribute to and support the strategic direction of various industry trade bodies in the local, regional and international domains. Our association with IBAC provides a valuable platform to achieve just that, ensuring business aviation has a strong, credible voice at the highest level of international aviation governance.”

Both Graham Williamson and Marwan Khalek will take an active role in IBAC's programmes, contributing to advisory forums and policy discussions that influence ICAO's regulatory framework.
