Gama Aviation has teamed up with Global Jet Services to offer EASA engineering training and certification packages from 2017.

Global Jet Services and Gama have joined up to offer a comprehensive suite of type certification courses for EASA B1 & B2 engineers. The new courses will be available from Gama Aviation's training facility based at Fairoaks, UK from January 2017 and will cover B1 & B2 theoretical and practical courses for types from Dassault, Gulfstream, Bombardier, BAe and Hawker-Beechcraft/Textron.

Hamish Ross, head of training for Gama Aviation commented: “As a service business, we focus on understanding our clients' needs and determining how we can deliver against them. In partnership with Global Jet Services we believe there is sufficient scope for another strong, value-led provider. The result is a comprehensive course programme from 2017, that significantly adds to the scale, depth and breadth of our existing training calendar and allows us to deliver a comprehensive range of EASA certified air and ground courses.”

JD McHenry, president of Global Jet Services commented: “We see this as a tremendous opportunity, not only to partner with Gama Aviation, another strong leader in global aviation, but to bring Global Jet Services' innovative approach to on-location training to a wider, global audience. This collaborative effort will give aviation maintenance technicians more cost-effective options with a training solution based on our 25-year record of excellence in the industry.”

The new courses will be available from January 2017.

Gama also offers additional training services covering aircrew ground training, pilot type rating landings, helicopter pilot training, CPL and PPL theory programs. The expansion of the training department is part of Gama Aviation's strategy of doubling the scale of its business over the next two years.
