Gama Aviation To Welcome Three New Beechcraft Aircraft By Next Year

At the Farnborough International Airshow 2024, Textron Aviation bagged a three-aircraft deal from UK-based Gama Aviation. Per the agreement, the former will supply the latter with three cargo door-equipped Beechcraft King Air 360C. The deliveries will be completed by 2025.

Here’s what Marwan Khalek, Group CEO at Gama Aviation, said about the deal:

Strategically, the KA360C (King Air 360C) hits the mark, providing good, direct operating costs and flight performance with a highly scalable mission platform we will modify at Gama Aviation. The completed aircraft, on entry into service, will represent a substantial step up in providing pre- and intra-hospital care for the people of Scotland.

The new aircraft will help Gama Aviation to modernise its fleet and bolster its Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS). The SAS provides mainland Scotland and its islands with a national air ambulance service. Gama Aviation has provided air ambulance services to the SAS for over 30 years, with Textron’s King Air as a critical contributor. The SAS offers clinical staffing, while the rest of the supporting equipment and manpower, such as the aircraft, flight crew and engineering support, is taken care of by Gama Aviation.
