Gama Aviation has begun FBO operations at RAF Northolt in West London, adding one of the capital’s most strategically positioned business aviation airports to its network alongside existing locations in Glasgow, Jersey and Sharjah.
Located approximately six miles north of London Heathrow, RAF Northolt offers business aviation passengers convenient access to central London, the West End and the city’s principal commercial and financial districts. It is also the closest business aviation airport to Wembley Stadium.
Gama Aviation plans to refurbish the existing FBO, including client lounges and dedicated crew facilities. The company said its long-standing relationship with the Royal Air Force and experience supporting government, defense and business aviation operations within complex, regulated environments underpins the appointment.
“RAF Northolt is a strategically important addition to our established FBO network, giving Gama Aviation a distinctive new gateway serving the London business aviation market,” said Marwan Khalek, group CEO of Gama Aviation.
Group Captain Wales, station commander at RAF Northolt, said: “As a well-established business aviation services provider operating across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, this partnership with Gama Aviation marks an exciting new chapter for RAF Northolt.”
Tom Murphy, managing director of FBO services at Gama Aviation, said: “I believe RAF Northolt has all the qualities our clients value, including location, security, privacy and discretion. Our focus will be on bringing these qualities together with Gama Aviation’s operational expertise and highly personalized approach to client service.”
The RAF Northolt opening forms part of a wider investment in Gama Aviation’s FBO network, which includes the recently opened Business Aviation Centre in Sharjah and a planned new FBO and hangar development at Jersey Airport, currently in its final design phase and scheduled for completion in 2028.
