Gama Aviation's Hong Kong business jet maintenance collaboration with China Aircraft Services Ltd. opens with fixed price base maintenance packages

In a formal opening ceremony held today, Gama Aviation Hutchison (Hong Kong) announced the start of its general sales agent (GSA) collaboration with China Aircraft Services Ltd's (CASL) for business jet maintenance services.

The collaboration, through which Gama Aviation has exclusive permission to sell CASL's business jet maintenance capability in Asia, has already achieved FAA and Cayman approvals for the Gulfstream G350/450, G500/G550 and G650/650ER types and the Bombardier Global BD-700 series, the primary types operated in the region. Approvals for Bermudan and HK CAD are imminent.

Angus Cheung, chief executive officer of China Aircraft Services Limited commented: "This is a historic year for CASL as we build further capability from our strong commercial aviation maintenance platform. Our collaboration is the perfect blend of maintenance expertise, operational know-how and type knowledge. We're very excited to end the year in such a strong position, with a relevant and compelling offer to business jet owners in the region."

Marwan Khalek, chief executive officer of Gama Aviation Plc commented: "Today marks a new era for Gama Aviation in the region. We could not want for better partners in CASL and I fully believe we have the means to deliver a game changing proposition. For many owners and crews, the inconvenience, cost and unnecessary engine and airframe hours of flying to alternate service facilities has ended. Hong Kong now has the capability and we are proud to represent, through our unique collaboration."

Gama Aviation is now taking bookings for base maintenance (up to and including 3C / 24 month inputs for the Gulfstream G350/450, G500/G550 and G650/650ER types and the Bombardier Global BD-700 series). Coverage is also provided for AOG regional call outs, battery services and cleaning.
