Gama Aviation highlights its commitment to providing best-in-class business aviation services by showcasing its new FBO facility at Sharjah International Airport during the inaugural BAAFEx 2025. Set to open in 2025, Gama Aviation’s Sharjah FBO presents a strategic alternative for business aviation operators particularly with Dubai International Airport reducing slot availability for business jet traffic.

Offering round-the-clock operations with zero slot restrictions, the facility ensures efficient turnaround times of 30-40 minutes and a taxi time of only a few minutes. Interestingly, for many BAAFEx attendees, the Sharjah FBO is an optimal technical stop for flights between the Far East, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Gama Aviation’s Sharjah FBO also provides seamless access to the UAE’s Northern Emirates and Downtown Dubai.

Tom Murphy, Managing Director of FBO Services at Gama Aviation commented: “Our Sharjah FBO is already accommodating a growing volume of Asian operators seeking efficiency and convenience. These operators greatly benefit from reduced turnaround times, dedicated fueling, minimal taxi times and zero slot restrictions.” 

In addition to enhancing the existing operational efficiencies, Gama’s new Sharjah facility will feature premium hangarage capable of accommodating ACJ and BBJ aircraft, competitive lease rates, and licensed engineers providing line maintenance for select airframes. 

Celebrating a decade of successful FBO operations in Sharjah, this milestone development underscores Gama Aviation’s commitment to expanding its global network. The company is also set to break ground on another FBO facility in Jersey, Channel Islands, this year, strengthening position in the FBO market.
