From the Ground Up: Building the Sharjah Business Aviation Centre (BAC)
The Sharjah Business Aviation Centre (BAC) is progressing rapidly, with construction moving from foundations to the framework of a world-class facility that will redefine the business aviation experience in the UAE.
Unlike many FBOs that retrofit existing airport infrastructure, the Sharjah BAC is being purpose-built from the ground up. Spanning more than 80,000 square metres, the development has been designed to combine luxury facilities with uncompromising efficiency and operational excellence.
A Purpose-Built Aviation Centre
The scale and ambition of the project demonstrate Gama Aviation’s commitment to creating an environment tailored specifically for business aviation. The BAC will feature:
- A 3,000 sqm two-storey VVIP terminal designed to provide an exclusive and seamless experience for passengers and crew.
- A 12,000 sqm hangar offering modern capacity for aircraft storage and maintenance.
- A dedicated parking apron and comprehensive maintenance facilities to ensure efficiency at every stage of the journey.
By developing a facility of this kind in Sharjah, Gama Aviation is strengthening the choice available to clients in the UAE and ensuring that operational excellence and client service remain at the heart of the experience.
Designed Around Efficiency and Excellence
For Gama Aviation, this project is not just about luxury finishes — it is about delivering tangible value to clients through precision, reliability, and service excellence.
As Tom Murphy, Managing Director FBO Services, explains:
“Our BAC spans a land area of over 80,000 square metres and is being built from the ground up – unlike most FBOs that retrofit existing airport facilities. It will include a 3,000 sqm two-storey VVIP terminal, a 12,000 sqm hangar, parking apron and maintenance facilities, all for the exclusive use of our guests and crew. While this allows us to create a luxury facility, our primary focus remains on achieving operational excellence and delivering the most efficient FBO in the UAE.”
Sharjah: A Strategic Location
The decision to expand in Sharjah reflects the emirate’s growing importance as a hub for business aviation. Located at the heart of the UAE, Sharjah provides direct access to the region’s economic and cultural centres while offering the space and infrastructure needed to support the demands of modern aviation.
The BAC will play a key role in supporting both regional and international traffic, ensuring guests receive the highest standards of care and efficiency.

A New Option for the Region
When complete, the Sharjah BAC will stand as a significant addition to the UAE’s business aviation landscape. It will reflect Gama Aviation’s dedication to creating environments that balance luxury with operational performance — always with the goal of exceeding client expectations.
