Gama Aviation together with Atkins has been reappointed to continue delivering Military Airworthiness Reviews (MARs) to the Royal Air Force's HQ Air Command (HQ Air) and The British Army's Joint Helicopter Command (JHC). Airworthiness regulations were issued by The Military Aviation Authority in 2013, requiring all aircraft on the UK Military Aircraft Register to be assessed by an independent organization to ensure they are safe, airworthy and fit for development whenever they are most needed. The reappointment means Gama Aviation and Atkins will continue the work they have been undertaking for the Ministry of Defence (MOD) since 2014, during which time more than 2,500 MARs have been completed across a wide range of battlefield helicopters, combat jets, large transport and intelligence-gathering aircraft, as well as training and vintage aircraft. The contract will see the team deliver airworthiness reviews for the next three years for HQ Air, and five years for JHC. Led by Atkins, these comprehensive reviews will provide assurance to the MOD that their aircraft are fit for deployment for the next 12 months. This will include verifying that all maintenance activity has been successfully carried out and correctly recorded.
