GAMA Aviation, has obtained a Maltese Air Operator Certificate (AOC), making it the first European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EUASA) AOC to be added to its portfolio since Brexit.

Graham Williamson, Managing Director, Aircraft Management and Charter at the company stated that GAMA Aviation sees Malta “as an important part of its new aircraft management and charter strategy, providing full access to commercial operations within Europe.”

Now, he added, clients have a choice between the UK, United Arab Emirates, Bermuda, Cayman, Isle of Man and Malta to register their aircraft, “with each AOC having a subtly different mix of benefits.”

“As we build the fleet, having this non-prescriptive approach to which AOC the aircraft is deployed on, allows our clients to make the best use of their aircraft for either personal or commercial use,” he continued.

GAMA Aviation is a British-based global aviation services company, established in 1983 that provides a wide range of aviation solutions through its three core divisions: Air, ground and global services.

The AOC approval led to the transition of three aircraft, including the commercial Gulfstream G650 and a Bombardier Global to the Maltese register.
