Gama Aviation Expands Business Aviation Estate at Sharjah International Airport

Gama Aviation, one of the world’s largest business aviation service providers, has announced that starting Aug. 1 it will be expanding its operations at Sharjah International Airport (OMSJ) in the UAE.

With the support of Sharjah Airport Authority, Gama Aviation has now acquired additional aircraft parking space to meet the growing demand it is experiencing for business aviation (particularly BBJs) at the airport, and from across the region. As part of the agreement Gama Aviation’s fixed base operation (FBO) and maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) teams will also be personally supervising the business aircraft left in their care ensuring clients receive the highest possible levels of service.

Gama Aviation has also conducted a review of the Sharjah FBO handling rates and, as a result, the basic handling prices have been reduced by 20 percent. This ensures that the Sharjah FBO, just 30 minutes from Downtown Dubai, is extremely competitive when compared to similar offerings in the region notably Dubai World Central (60+ minutes away from Downtown Dubai). The new prices will take effect Aug. 1, 2015.

This reduction in costs is just one part of a global review of Gama Aviation’s contracts across all areas of its operations. Due to its increased size following its merger with Hangar8 plc in January this year, the company is able to make considerable costs savings and pass these on to the benefit of its customers.
