Gama Aviation has received UK CAA approval to extend its Part 145 maintenance scope, authorizing it to offer line and base maintenance for its Learjet 40/45 and 60.
The approval authorizes Gama to perform line and base maintenance on Learjet 40s and 45s, as well as base maintenance on Learjet 60s, from its Bournemouth, UK facility. Gama's extension of Learjet capability aligns with its “measured approach to expanding its approved maintenance scope.”
Meanwhile, the British aviation services company will open a purpose-built rotorcraft paint shop at Staverton Airport in Gloucestershire. An extension of existing capabilities at the site—which include airframe maintenance, avionics upgrades, structural work, and approved interior modifications—Gama said the paint facility “reinforces Staverton’s position as a complete rotary support hub.”
The paint shop will initially support Leonardo AW169 and AW139 and Airbus H145 projects under Gama’s existing Part 145 approval. According to Gama, the paint facility will also have the flexibility to accommodate a broader range of helicopter types on a subcontracted basis, all benefiting from Gama’s in-house design capability.
