Bizarre - someone who sold 4k at 210p either had their stop-loss hit, got completely stuffed by the MMs or was desperate for cash!

Should be back at 250p pronto by rights.

[scottishfield] 27/7/2017 16:02

Added today, (thank you)

[samdb] 27/7/2017 16:01

Same, picked up a few the first and second times it got to 222.

[twirl] 27/7/2017 15:50

Now making a small profit on my buy just after 3. Lol

[twirl] 27/7/2017 15:47

Can sell 50k at IG at 230p

[roddiemac2] 27/7/2017 15:42

Market makers trying to get stock on the cheap. Someone was bidding for 50,000 at 220p a short while ago . They have upped that to 225p since according to my broker.

Very odd sell off today?

[samdb] 27/7/2017 14:27

Someone started a rumour about a placing, couple of people sold on the back of it and then the stops kicked in.The company has been doing well and is undervalued relative to peers so I'm trying to ignore the day to day movement (except when there's a buying opportunity like today).I fully expect to look at this in a year's time and it'll be 350p.

[goliard] 27/7/2017 14:26

I smell a placing on the way. One of the problems here is that information seems to leak.

[igoe104] 27/7/2017 14:09

you would think GMAA share price would be on the way up, not down? after a clusters of good news on the week, you cant work out the mentality of some folks ? why sell now.

I`ll be glad when July is out of the way, it never seems to be a rewarding month for the general market.

[samdb] 27/7/2017 13:19

Quite like the look here so having some and will tuck them away in the ISA.

[rivaldo] 27/7/2017 12:14

Indeed - I'm sure GMAA would bring in a partner or two, and this seems to be their model elsewhere too.

Down 9p on just £40k of shares traded today. Crazy.

[samdb] 27/7/2017 08:46

The Sharjah deal from the other week will require quite a bit of investment. For building a terminal, and in the UAE I can't imagine getting financing would be a problem though.

[rhomboid] 27/7/2017 08:40

Thx samdb , that explains why I'd missed it on my morning scan of RNS🙂

CH that was my thought as well but given cashflow and gearing it seemed implausible unless an acquisition was part of the piece

[samdb] 27/7/2017 08:33

They released on the the PR version of RNS for general company news but ADVFN picks up both feeds.

[cockerhoop] 27/7/2017 08:33

Can be a sign of a placing on the way?

[rhomboid] 27/7/2017 08:30

Nice though it is to hear I don't understand why they're RNSing it🤔 It's not a new airframe to GMAA & one aircraft under management isn't going to move the needle is it?

[rivaldo] 27/7/2017 07:08

RNS - another contract win after a competitive tender process. Yet more recurring income.

At some point there will surely be another big re-rating here given so much positive news flow:

[rivaldo] 25/7/2017 10:12

I wouldn't worry Corrientes - the share price has doubled in less than a year, so there may be a few profit-takers or an institutional seller.

We now know September's interims will be good, so treat this as an opportunity.

WH Ireland are happy to reiterate a 370p target price, so this is an ideal time to accumulate imo.

[corrientes] 25/7/2017 10:00

Full marks to the company for its PR effort, so why is the share price responding somewhat grudgingly ? Is there a seller about or are we at the top of the industry sector cycle, or simply just the victim of a bear market for small companies ?

Gama Aviation signs agreements to build and operate a US$30 million business aviation terminal.



Gama Support Services, a division of global business aviation services company Gama Aviation, has signed commercial agreements with Sharjah Airport Authority for the development and operation of a new private aviation terminal at Sharjah International Airport. Gama Support Services will build and operate a new AED 110 million (US$ 30m) purpose-built, integrated business aviation complex and provide ground handling services to business jet owners, business jets, and crew members. Gama took over the handling of all business aircraft the airport in January 2012 and opened a private terminal in 2014.
Gama Aviation disclosed architectural concepts for the new Sharjah fixed-base operations (FBO) at the end of last year. The project covers over 40,000 square metres at Sharjah International Airport and will include two aircraft hangars able to accommodate business aircraft up to Airbus ACJ & Boeing BBJ size (ACJ aircraft are based on the Airbus A320 family, while BBJ are based on Boeing 737 commercial aircraft frames).
The state-of-the-art terminal for business jet owners, passengers and crew members will include rest areas, lounges, Duty Free shops, passport control and customs. The development will also include an aircraft fueling unit, an aircraft parking apron for business jets and ample car parking adjacent to the terminal.
Gama recently secured UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency approvals to provide line maintenance for a wide range of business aircraft at its Sharjah FBO, including the Beechcraft King Air, Bombardier Challenger, Bombardier Global, Embraer Legacy , Gulfstream and Boeing Business Jets.
Gama Aviation’s Sharjah FBO saw a 45 percent increase in aircraft movements during the first four months of 2017, which the company attributes partly to its proximity to Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). With no slot restrictions, plenty of parking, aircraft hangarage, security and customs clearance and almost immediate passes providing access to aircraft, the FBO is becoming a popular access point to business jet owners seeking to access Dubai and the Northern Emirates.
According to recent figures from Gama Aviation, the Middle East has a business aviation fleet of about 800 aircraft, with Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates accounting for 24 percent, 20 percent and 17 percent of the market respectively.

Onwards and upwards.

[rivaldo] 24/7/2017 07:06

More good news - I do like contracts which go on indefinitely :o))



"Gama Aviation extends its maintenance support agreement with Wijet.

Oxford, 24th July 2017 - Gama Aviation Plc, (AIM:GMAA) the global business aviation services company, is pleased to announce the indefinite extension of their current maintenance support agreement with Wijet, the European leader in jet taxi services.

I almost sold my holding in these when it hit my stop loss at 150p, but I couldn't find a better investment so I ignored my own rule. So pleased I stayed with it and just stopped watching for a while. Now back to being my single largest holding with 300p plus on the way.
