Gama Aviation FZC awarded United Arab Emirates AOC [2010-03-04 08:30:17]
Gama Aviation FZC, the newly founded Middle East arm of the international Gama Group, is delighted to announce that on the 4th February 2010 following a thorough and extensive process the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has awarded the company an Air Operators Certificate (AOC). Dave Edwards, Managing Director, commented, "We're absolutely delighted to have been awarded our UAE AOC. We started the application process in June 2009 and I'm particularly pleased with the speed with which we've been able to drive the project forward - it's a proud achievement for everyone. This certificate means that we can begin providing our respected and experienced aircraft management and charter services to Middle East clients. Gama's core strengths of safety, service and experience combined with virtually unrivalled understanding of aviation asset management provides a very attractive option to run their aircraft."Marwan Abdel Khalek, the Group's CEO who founded Gama in 1983, commented, "The UAE AOC marks another significant step in Gama's worldwide development. We are now the only business aviation group to hold operating licences in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Bermudan approval. With the addition of the first three aircraft in the region, a Challenger 605, 604 and an 850, it brings our worldwide fleet to over 75 business jet aircraft, which represents models from the Learjet 45 all the way through to the Boeing Business Jet and at every level in between. When I founded the business I always aimed to expand into the region where I spent my childhood, and after sustained growth and development we have now achieved it."Richard Lineveldt, the company's Operations Manager, summed up the news: "This certificate represents a significant milestone in Gama's development in the region, but it is really only the starting point. We pride ourselves on the experience that we're able to offer our clients, in terms of international business aircraft management across all manufacturers and a wide range of types and also most importantly in our substantial collective experience of operating within the region itself - it gives us the confidence to commit to setting the highest possible standards across our business."

LEA expands fleet with Legacy 600 and Citation XLS [2010-03-04 08:30:16]
London Executive Aviation is expanding again with the addition to the fleet of an Embraer Legacy 600 and a Cessna Citation XLS. The expansion means LEA now operates five Legacy 600s and five mid-size Citations in a total fleet of 24 aircraft. George Galanopoulos, LEA??s managing director, says: ??We will both manage the Legacy 600 for the owner and charter the aircraft, in line with the existing successes of our ??hybrid?? business model. The owner had not bought an aircraft before but felt the time was financially right to move into the used aircraft market. He expects to need the jet himself for around 200 hours each year. The remainder of the time will be available for charter."??The Legacy 600 is a very popular aircraft in our fleet ?? reliable, good range, the best cabin space for the money and a huge luggage hold, far larger than any other jet in its class," he continued. "We have only missed one trip in four years with our Legacy 600s, so the dispatch rate is excellent.?The XLS, currently being refurbished, joins four Excel aircraft already operating in LEA??s mid-size Citation fleet. ??Like the Legacy 600,? continues Galanopoulos, ??we are both managing and chartering the XLS, which will be based at Luton. Refurbishing an aircraft that is only two years old is unusual, but the owners have a clear vision of their desired colours and interior scheme.?He concludes: ??These additions to our fleet demonstrate the value of our hybrid business model. For aircraft owners, charter income offsets operating overheads and covers finance costs. The owners themselves can then enjoy some cheap flying!"??We expect to continue adding aircraft to our managed fleet, particularly in these challenging times," Galanopoulos said. "More than ever before, owners are looking at what their aircraft actually cost them. The old days of having an aircraft sitting on the ground, waiting for the owner to fly once a week, are long gone. Owners now realise that an aircraft, like any other asset, needs to work to earn its keep. Adding a business jet to an operator??s fleet makes financial sense and ensures the aircraft is operated safely and professionally.?E-mail your press releases, news tips and feedback to the CharterX News Editor at News@CharterX.com.
