Gama’s Sharjah FBO. The preferred gateway to Sharjah, Dubai and the Northern Emirates.

Tuesday 11th December 2012

Gama Group, the global business aviation service provider, today announced plans to further extend operations and facilities at Sharjah International Airport.

In just nine months since Gama Aviation FZE signed an exclusive concession agreement for the provision of FBO (Fixed Base Operation) Services at Sharjah International Airport, the company announced today at the MEBA Dubai Show, a significant growth in Business and General Aviation movements.

In addition to delivering a remarkable 40% year on year increase in business aviation movements, Gama has also established a UAE GCAA accredited Part 145 maintenance facility, servicing Bombardier and Hawker Beechcraft aircraft and aims to roll out full EASA maintenance coverage in early 2013.

Working closely with both the Sharjah Airport Authority and the Sharjah Department of Civil Aviation, Gama is aiming to add further investment to ensure Sharjah provides the latest FBO facilities for its passengers and crews in 2013.

With landing to on-blocks times now averaging just six minutes, Gama's Sharjah FBO has swiftly established itself as a stress-free gateway for business and private visitors to Sharjah, Dubai and the Northern Emirates and a prime technical stop for business jet operators transiting from East to West.

Sharjah International Airport's strategic location outside of the city provides a short 10 minute drive to the City Centre and a mere 20 minute drive or five minute helicopter ride to and from Dubai's main financial and business district. The latest strategic federal road network investment has seen road journeys reduced to their quickest ever and means the journey to Dubai is now along a major motorway network, with fast links to all parts of the city.
