We are proud to be associated with First Choice Airways and contribute to their continuous success".
Mark German, First Choice Maintenance Manager said," Having been personally involved with the maintenance and modification of this aircraft, I have good understanding of the effort and dedication required to embody a modification of this magnitude. Gamco has clearly demonstrated that they have the resources, capability and resolve required, to meet both Management and Customer expectations as a leading Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organisation."
"We contracted Gamco because it offers First Choice exactly what it needs: absolute reliability, short downtimes, a flexible approach to unexpected events and quality workmanship -- all at a reasonable price," he added.BY A STAFF REPORTER
