Sharjah: Sharjah Airport Authority said on Monday it has signed an agreement with “Gama Aviation”, the global aviation services company, permitting the company to manage private/business aviation services at Sharjah International Airport, including all procedures and processes, starting from issuing landing permissions to the handling of passengers and crews.
The Agreement between SAA and Gama Aviation, was signed by Ali Salim Al Midfa, Chairman of Sharjah Airport Authority and Richard Lineveldt, General Manager Mena for Gama Aviation respectively, in the presence of Shaikh Khalid Bin Essam Al Qasimi, Chairman, Department of Civil Aviation, Emirate of Sharjah.
“We at Sharjah International Airport, have always welcomed world-class companies of the calibre of Gama Aviation which has long years of experience in aviation services. General aviation has witnessed tremendous growth in the UAE and we want to ensure our share of that market,” Shaikh Khalid said in a statement.
Richard Lineveldt, General Manager Mena for Gama Aviation, added that the agreement with Sharjah Airport Authority will strengthen the company’s presence in the region. Gama Aviation took over the responsibility for handling all business travellers at Sharjah International Airport in early 2012, but the company has been present in Sharjah as a charter operator since 2006, he said.
