[absolute zero]

It was announced today that Hangar8 ltd is going to merge with GAMA aviation and the whole lot to become GAMA Aviation PLC

[dc9-32]

I sense some changes happening within H8 in that case !

[tommoutrie]

What changes? I have no idea what this merger means.

[Jackdaw]

So is that good news for H8 or bad news for Gama? Or a bit of both?

[l8starter]

Well I think they should open a base in Angola, that where the smart money is !!!

[Jackdaw]

Air 26 take over Gama?
Maybe not! ))

[l8starter]

You can mock ! And why not ))

L8 Out !

[Jackdaw]

So its a reverse takeover - H8 taking over Gama but retaining the name Gama.....things are going to change for Gama I guess http://www.lse.co.uk/AllNews.asp?cod..._Shares_ALLISS

Gama are actually buying H8

No, they are not, it is H8 doing the buying.

The joys of market share deals!
Gama are buying the shares that Hangar 8 are issuing to raise the money to buy Gama. Therefore at some point after the snake has swallowed its own tail, Gama are doing the buying.

I know GAMA have engineering bases at both Fairoaks and Farnborough, so where are Hangar8 based?

[gordon field]

Despite all of the hype from H8 the Chairman of GAMA Aviation PLC will be Marwan Khalek and DD will be CEO of H8.

Incest - a game for all the family.

I'll bet Freestream come out of this little deal well.

Chevron, also at 'London Oxford' aka Kiddlington.

Are any of these companies interesting to work for as a biz jet pilot?

Mmm the one with a not so good reputation from a quality perspective is ending up with the one to be rumoured to have had financial issues... But the interesting question is: which one is which, it is the money loosing industry called business aviation after all
