Gama Aviation Sharjah FBO breaks passenger records in 2024

With a focus on further expanding its FBO footprint, it has also announced two major developments are set to redefine its offerings in 2025: a new FBO and hangar facility at Sharjah International Airport, UAE, and another in Jersey, Channel Islands.

Tom Murphy, managing director of Gama Aviation’s FBO Services, said: "The record-breaking performance of our Sharjah FBO underscores its growing importance as a high-quality alternative to Dubai. With its strategic location, operational efficiency, and premium services, Sharjah is proving to be a critical solution for the region’s aviation capacity challenges. This success provides the perfect momentum as we prepare to launch our new FBO and hangar facility in 2025, further elevating the private aviation experience."

Sharjah International Airport has emerged as a preferred alternative for private and business aviation clients facing increasing congestion at Dubai International Airport (DXB), where business jet slots are becoming limited. Recently, the airport's authority introduced extensive slot restrictions for general aviation flights. Gama Aviation’s Sharjah FBO has capitalised on this shift, achieving record passenger growth and positioning the airport as a premier gateway for business aviation in the Middle East.

Beyond Sharjah, Gama Aviation is set to break ground on a new FBO and hangar facility in Jersey, Channel Islands, in 2025.
