You never know the telegraph might include them again in their portfolio. Still have mine.

[twirl] 15/1/2021 10:48

Aye. Good news and still holding on for considerable upside once the covid cloud diminishes.

[aimingupward2] 15/1/2021 10:27

Nice to read some positive news here. I agree very much with your sentiment, rivaldo, expressed in your final paragraph.

Good news - a synergistic $8.7m acquisition in the USA of a full-service business aviation aircraft maintenance provider: Https://uk.advfn.com/stock-market/london/gama-aviation-GMAA/share-news/Gama-Aviation-PLC-Expansion-of-the-Groups-US-Maint/84099489 I note that this will be earnings-enhancing after the first year of acquisition. Pretty clear they had a rotten 2020 (probably much like GMAA - we shall see), but GMAA will hope they can return to their 2019 performance showing a $1.2m EBIT. I'll hold my relatively small holding here (even smaller these days!) - it keeps my interest up in GMAA, as there could just be substantial upside once COVID begins to fade and if management focus on the basics. Rozzi Business Inc aren't in here now with a large stake just for the love of the business.

Yes, this certainly a significant turnaround after along decline in the share price A lot further to go, so a good time to join in.

[escapetohome] 10/11/2020 16:12

Seems the vaccine has done some wonders for the shareprice. Buy low sell high.

[rivaldo] 14/10/2020 09:27

Yep, the Rozzers are now above 18% and will presumably keep buying - either up to 29.99% as a significant shareholder with big influence, or to facilitate a takeover?

[twirl] 13/10/2020 18:30

Rozzi seems convinced

[escapetohome] 08/10/2020 13:41

I hope not. Im not an accountant, but they are winning contracts. Those companies wouldnt buy gama services if they were about to go bust and had concerns over working capital. My guess is they are not going bust soon.

[thomasearnshaw] 08/10/2020 06:02

Potentially going bust i fear

GMAA have some great long-term contracts with the various rescue/ambulance services, so shouldn't be in any danger of collapse. On the other hand their core airline sector is going to be suffering for some time to come. And yet....maybe help is at hand for the sector from COVID-19 per today's news: Https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-54067499 "Covid vaccine: 8,000 jumbo jets needed to deliver doses globally, says IATA 4 hours ago Shipping a coronavirus vaccine around the world will be the "largest transport challenge ever" according to the airline industry. The equivalent of 8,000 Boeing 747s will be needed, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has said. There is no Covid-19 vaccine yet, but IATA is already working with airlines, airports, global health bodies and drug firms on a global airlift plan. etc"

Gama Aviation Plc (AIM: GMAA) ("Gama Aviation", the "Group") Gama Aviation awarded Ministry of Defence RAF glider contract Gama Aviation and Atkins, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group, have been appointed by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) as the organisations responsible for supporting the airworthiness of the Viking T1 - the aircraft used by Royal Air Force (RAF) Air Cadets for basic glider training. The Viking is used at 10 locations across the UK to train Air Cadets to a sufficient standard for them to fly solo. The fleet currently comprises 48 gliders with four additional Vikings expected to be added to operations by the end of 2021. For the next two years, Gama Aviation and Atkins will support the airworthiness of the fleet, providing solutions to any issues that may arise around design standards and technical queries. Scott McVicar, Managing Director, Europe Ground at Gama Aviation, said : "We're proud to be working with Atkins to support this platform and its valuable mission to aid the next generation of aviators to build their flying skills safely." David Clark, Aerospace and Defence Market Director at Atkins, said : "By supporting the continued airworthiness of the Viking training glider, we're proud to be helping foster an interest in the aviation industry for Air Cadets. This appointment builds on our strong history in aircraft safety and we look forward to combining our technical expertise with the latest digital innovations to keep the Viking fleet in the sky." Since 2014, Gama Aviation and Atkins have collaborated on providing aircraft safety certification and are currently responsible for conducting Military Airworthiness Reviews for the RAF's HQ Air Command and The British Army's Joint Helicopter Command.

Telegraph downbeat. At the bottom of the cycle, typical error. I bought these shares. Reason to be upbeat. New contract awarded.

[napoleon 14th] 04/9/2020 08:46

Update: Gama Aviation We cannot be so upbeat about Gama, unfortunately. The aviation services business had plenty of troubles even before coronavirus came along. Now the shares stand 84pc below where we added them to the IHT Portfolio on the strength of Downing’s large stake in the firm. The fund manager has now given up and crystallised its loss and we must face the music too. Questor says: sell Ticker: GMAA Share price at close: 36p

[johnsoho] 21/7/2020 09:56

Just now purchased my first small tranche of shares in this company; I think it’s future is probably very profitable O

I had this on my monitor list, but missed the very bottom. Im in now though. I put a limit order in too.

[rhomboid] 23/6/2020 17:41

Good evening Rivaldo...Who are Rozzi business inc? Panama based doesn’t suggest the highest standards of probity?...or are they the exception?

[mfhmfh] 01/6/2020 14:04

2 seemingly positive RNSs today.

[rivaldo] 30/4/2020 21:44

A series of RNS's tonight - Panama-based Rozzi Business Inc have bought almost 8%, or 5m shares, of GMAA in the last six weeks (presumably taking up Downing's sales): Https://www.investegate.co.uk/gama-aviation-plc--gmaa-/rns/holding-s--in-company/202004301638455533L/ A precursor to a bid perhaps?

[rivaldo] 28/4/2020 09:41

Bottom-fishing buying coming in - and happy to pay well over the odds at up to 45p, way above the published offer price.

[rivaldo] 10/3/2020 08:50

Today's encouraging news hasn't been flagged up on ADVFN's Portfolio, so here it is for the record in case anyone missed it: Https://www.investegate.co.uk/gama-aviation-plc--gmaa-/rns/airops-software-secures-usd-2-5m-software-sale/202003100700075088F/ "Airops Software ("myairops") secures USD$2.5million software sale Gama Aviation, the global business aviation service provider, announces that its Global Services subsidiary Airops Software Ltd (trading as myairops) has secured a USD$2.5million Software as a Service (SaaS) contract with one of the world's largest business aviation operators. The system is live and provides comprehensive fleet management, crew rostering and maintenance planning capabilities in support of a large fleet operation. The three-year contract is the largest single deal yet signed by myairops, following a substantial investment in its SaaS platform by the Group. Commenting on winning the contract, Marwan Khalek, Chief Executive of Gama Aviation said: "We are pleased with the market traction being achieved by myairops, demonstrated by the confidence placed in the platform by one of the world's largest business aircraft fleet operators. It is another example of our strategic organic investment into innovative services that simplify business aviation."
