Gama, BBA Aviation Merge U.S. Air Charter Fleets
The combined charter management fleet, which will be under Gama's oversight, now numbers more than 200 aircraft.
UK-based BBA Aviation acquired Landmark Aviation's charter arm as part of its purchase of the Landmark FBO chain last year, but as a non-U.S. entity, BBA must sell at least 51 percent of the charter division to a U.S.-controlled company under DOT rules. Thus, BBA Aviation is merging its U.S. aircraft management and charter operation with that of Gama Aviation to comply with the DOT's foreign-ownership rules. (Photo: BBA Aviation)
