Gama Aviation's Staverton facility in Bournemouth, UK, is now approved to provide base maintenance for the Cessna Citation XL/XLS, adding to the company’s existing line maintenance capability for the midsize jets at its Luton base and via mobile service teams.
Before adding the XL/XLS capability, Gama Aviation’s full-service capability for Textron Aviation aircraft covered the Beechcraft King Air series, for which the company is an authorized service facility and special mission authorized sales representative. This marks the first time Gama Aviation has extended its Textron Aviation full-service capabilities beyond the King Air.
“The addition of the Cessna Citation XL/XLS has, alongside the Embraer Phenom 300, allowed us to bridge our traditional King Air turboprop expertise and the larger mid-range and heavy jets,” said Paul Kinch, managing director, MRO. “These Citations are used extensively within the charter, fractional, and owned fleet servicing the UK, Channel Islands, and near-Europe market. By combining AOG, line, spares, mature supply chain, and now base maintenance in an increasingly tariff-friendly country, we believe we have a very compelling proposition to support fleet owners.”
