Athens-based GainJet is highlighting at MEBAA 2018 its full range of services, including charter, management, sales and acquisitions, maintenance, and even aircraft repossession.

In the charter arena, with an office in London and subsidiary AOC operation in Shannon, Ireland, GainJet (Booth 700) has more than half a dozen available aircraft based throughout the Middle East and Europe. The fleet includes Bombardier Challengers, Gulfstreams, and a VIP Boeing 757-200 and 737-400. The ISBAO-registered company can provide quotes on short notice and boasts a 24/7 operations center.

GainJet’s management services ensure owners' flight preferences are adhered to when they travel, and their aircraft are utilized efficiently if used for charter. The company also continuously monitors charter market trends to cope with fast-paced global demands and positions aircraft appropriately, maximizing return on investment. Among its most competitive feature “is the fact that we have developed a robust client base ranging from heads of state and celebrities to corporations and highly affluent individuals,” the company said.

Sales and acquisition capabilities include leasing and financing as well as outright purchases. The acquisition team provides valuations and appraisals and compiles a complete report that tracks ownership and maintenance history of all aircraft under consideration. GainJet also has a longstanding relationship with Gulfstream, having taken delivery of 15 of its aircraft, which can also benefit clients on both the buy and sell side. 

Maintenance services include continuing airworthiness management organization (CAMO) approval for 10 aircraft models ranging from Embraer Phenom 100 light jets to the Boeing 757-200. In addition, GainJet has Part 145 line maintenance approval for several fixed-wing and helicopter models. GainJet provides helicopter maintenance services throughout the Arabian Gulf along with its joint venture partner, Gulf Technology Electronic and Systems.

Should the need for asset recovery arise, GainJet can also help repossess aircraft from locations throughout the world.
