3 January 2017 – merger of US business
The group has announced that it is to merge its US aircraft management and charter business with that of BBA Aviation from 1 January 2017. The combined business will become the largest aircraft management business in the US with over 200 aircraft under management. The merger will extend Gama’s client base, provide significant growth for the group’s US ground business and deliver significant cost synergies. This is clearly a positive step for the group which is due to give a trading update on Monday 9 January. We re-iterate our recommendation of BUY.
