Gama Aviation wins, two long-term special mission contracts.
Farnborough, 9(th) January 2017 - Gama Aviation Plc [LSE: GMAA],
is pleased to announce the award of two long-term special mission
contracts.
The first is a new three-year contract award (with an option to
extend for a further two years from the National Police Air Service
[NPAS]) for the provision of fixed-wing aircraft maintenance,
continuing airworthiness and spare parts for its new Vulcanair P68R
fleet. The contract covers the maintenance of four aircraft
including daily flight inspections, line maintenance, scheduled
maintenance, and the supply of aircraft and mission equipment
parts. The aircraft, which are capable of flying in all weather,
day & night, will be deployed on mission critical tasks across
England and Wales requiring a high level of operational
availability; a core competency of Gama Aviation's special mission
support team.
Charlotte Daynes, Senior Category Manager - ICT & Aviation,
Yorkshire & the Humber Regional Procurement Team: "After a
thorough, fair and transparent tender process we are pleased to
award the contract to Gama Aviation (Engineering) Ltd (a subsidiary
of Gama Aviation Plc), who put forward a competitive bid of
impressively high quality. We look forward to working with them
into the future."
The second is the award by an existing client of an aerial
survey contract for a new initial term of five years. The contract
involves the operational management and piloting of the client's
aircraft and was awarded following a competitive tender
process.
Marwan Khalek, Chief Executive Officer comments: "We are
delighted to be starting the year positively with these two
important contract awards, representing over GBP10 million in
revenues over the period of the contracts. Both were competitive
and wining them reflects our strong special mission capability in
the UK both as a primary and secondary contractor. Clients are
attracted to our bespoke, turnkey solutions that offer a unique
blend of air and ground services which are ideally suited to
complex, mission critical, assignments."
Gama Aviation retains additional special mission contracts with
NHS Scotland and the Ministry of Defence.
