Gama Aviation (GMA, Farnborough) launched FBO operations at Northolt on September 1. “The addition of RAF Northolt represents a significant next step, giving us a distinctive gateway serving London and strengthening the connectivity of our wider network. I believe RAF Northolt has all the qualities our clients value, including location, security, privacy, and discretion,” said Tom Murphy, Gama Aviation's managing director of aviation services.

The facility was previously operated by Universal Aviation for six years. Gama Aviation subsequently won a competitive bidding process to take over the site and plans to refurbish the passenger lounges and dedicated crew areas. The Northolt FBO complements Gama Aviation's existing facilities at Glasgow International, Jersey where the company is completing the design of a new hangar and FBO scheduled to open in 2028, and Sharjah, which was inaugurated in early 2026.
