Press release
Gama Aviation Plc (AIM:GMAA) ("Gama Aviation", the "Group")
Gama Aviation and Atkins awarded Military Aviation Review
contracts
Gama Aviation, the global business aviation service provider,
together with Atkins, has been reappointed to continue delivering
Military Airworthiness Reviews (MARs) to the Royal Air Force's HQ
Air Command (HQ Air) and The British Army's Joint Helicopter
Command (JHC).
Airworthiness regulations were issued by The Military Aviation
Authority in 2013, requiring all aircraft on the UK Military
Aircraft Register to be assessed by an independent organisation to
ensure they are safe, airworthy and fit for development whenever
they are most needed.
The reappointment means Gama Aviation and Atkins will continue
the work they have been undertaking for the Ministry of Defence
(MOD) since 2014, during which time more than 2,500 MARs have been
completed across a wide range of battlefield helicopters, combat
jets, large transport and intelligence-gathering aircraft, as well
as training and vintage aircraft.
The contract will see the team deliver airworthiness reviews for
the next three years for HQ Air, and five years for JHC.
Led by Atkins, these comprehensive reviews will provide
assurance to the MOD that their aircraft are fit for deployment for
the next 12 months. This will include verifying that all
maintenance activity has been successfully carried out and
correctly recorded.
Scott McVicar, Managing Director for Europe Ground at Gama
Aviation, said: "Our relationship with Atkins and Headquarters Air
Command has grown over the last six years to the extent where we
have an intimate understanding of the task and the operational
requirements of our client. Simplifying complex tasks, delivering
diligently and creating strong platforms that perform are core to
our business. I believe that this re-award, in the face of strong
competition, is testament to the value that Gama Aviation and
Atkins are delivering to our client."
David Clark, Aerospace and Defence Market Director at Atkins,
said: "Safety is at the heart of everything we do at Atkins, so
it's doubly rewarding to be supporting HQ Air and JHC to keep their
aircraft and personnel safe. Our reappointment speaks to the
expertise we have demonstrated over the past six years, and we look
forward to working closely with Gama Aviation and the MOD to ensure
aircraft safety continues to be given the due diligence it
deserves."
Gama Aviation provides mission critical aviation and support
services globally in the business aviation, air ambulance, law
enforcement, infrastructure monitoring and defence sectors.
