His experience across helicopter types includes the Robinson R22/R44, Bell JetRanger, LongRanger and 407, Airbus H120, Gazelle and AS355, and the Leonardo AW109 (formerly AgustaWestland).
Hoff’s plans for the new operation extend from training using a Guimbal Cabri G2 to a wide range of charter work, including interlining opportunities for corporate jets operated by Gama Aviation. This new dimension to the Gama Aviation portfolio will ensure that its customers can be flown direct to a central London heliport.
The range of helicopters offered is expected to include both the Robinson R44 and Bell JetRanger in the near future, and other types in the medium term. Further services include helipad planning, advising customers on purchase and operating costs.
The Cotswold office adjoins the main Gama Aviation hangar at Fairoaks Airport and will allow all the helicopters operated to be hangared at night. Operations are expected to commence in the next three weeks with training bookings for these open immediately online.
