- Purpose-built Business Aviation Centre launches with VVIP terminal and premium hangar facilities.
- Aircrew-focused amenities support round-the-clock operations with comfort, speed, and reliability.
- Strategic Sharjah location offers seamless access to Dubai and Northern Emirates.
- New centre sets fresh benchmarks for business aviation handling across region.
Private aviation in the UAE just gained a serious upgrade. Gama Aviation has officially opened its new Business Aviation Centre at Sharjah International Airport, marking a major milestone for the region’s growing business aviation sector. The facility has already welcomed its inaugural aircraft, signaling the start of operations at what promises to become a key gateway for aircraft owners, operators, and aircrew seeking efficiency without compromise.
Developed as part of a long-standing partnership with Sharjah Airport Authority, the centre introduces a purpose-built ecosystem designed around comfort, speed, and operational excellence. With Dubai International Airport preparing to phase out business aviation activity, Sharjah’s positioning becomes even more strategic, offering convenient access to Dubai, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates while reducing congestion-related delays.
At the heart of the new centre is a meticulously designed VVIP terminal that feels closer to a five-star hotel than an airport facility. Guests are welcomed into exclusive lounges, relaxation suites, and an observation bar, all supported by premium hospitality services tailored for everyone from royalty to private clients.
For flight crews, the experience is equally thoughtful. Dedicated rest suites, briefing rooms, priority parking directly beside the terminal, and round-the-clock dining ensure teams stay mission-ready at any hour. It’s a clear reflection of Gama Aviation’s focus on making operations smoother for the people who keep aircraft moving.
The infrastructure extends airside with a 12,000 square metre, three-bay hangar built for secure parking, storage, and line maintenance. Wide-span doors and direct apron access allow several large-cabin aircraft to move efficiently, while controlled access supports both security and crew convenience. Integrated MRO capabilities, dedicated fuelling, and ground support equipment further reduce turnaround times, helping operators minimise downtime.
Marwan Khalek, Group CEO of Gama Aviation, shared that the centre represents the culmination of a 12-year collaboration with Sharjah Airport Authority. His vision is clear: establish Sharjah as a leading destination for business aviation traffic by delivering exceptional client comfort alongside operational precision.
Tom Murphy, Managing Director of FBO at Gama Aviation, echoed this focus, noting that every element of the centre has been designed around what clients value most: speed, reliability, and a frictionless experience from terminal entrance to airside.
Since beginning operations at Sharjah International Airport in 2014, Gama Aviation has reported steady annual growth as operators increasingly recognise the benefits of basing aircraft at this location. With the Business Aviation Centre now open to traffic ahead of its official launch later this year, that momentum looks set to accelerate.
For aircraft owners and operators seeking a refined alternative to traditional hubs, Sharjah’s newest aviation destination delivers on both performance and experience!
