Gama Aviation has announced that its head of aviation delivery, Paul Cremer, has been named the recipient of the British Business and General Aviation Association’s (BBGA) Contribution to Industry Award 2025.
The award recognises Cremer’s 43 years of continuous service across the general and business aviation sector.
BBGA chair Aoife O’Sullivan described him as “a hugely popular figure, who continues to give back to the industry,” adding “there isn’t an aviation discipline he hasn’t been involved in and very few people in bizav he doesn’t know.”
Cremer’s career spans air traffic, operations, aircraft management, air ambulance services, ground operations, CAMO, charter sales, MCC co-ordination, aviation software and contract management.
He has spent nearly 29 years with Gama Aviation, having joined the company in 1997 as operations manager, and now serves as head of aviation delivery.
Cremer began his aviation career at Fairoaks Airport, Surrey, starting as ground crew before progressing into air traffic, becoming senior aerodrome flight information service officer.
He later held a similar role at Blackbushe Airport before moving to Gama Aviation, where he has taken on multiple roles over nearly three decades.
In 2023, Cremer succeeded Wally Epton as chair of BBGA’s Operations Working Group. Under his leadership, the group broadened its reach by introducing regional meetings alongside its London gatherings, securing regular participation from the Department for Transport (DfT), UK Border Force and the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
Gama Aviation group chief executive, Marwan Khalek, said the award reflects Cremer’s decades-long dedication to the industry: “Steve Wright and I have known Paul since the early days at Fairoaks when we were still finding our feet as a fledgling aviation company back in 1983.
“Then, as now, he is a passionate advocate for the sector and tenacious champion of the industry, with an energy and enthusiasm that are truly remarkable.
“Beyond his expertise, what really sets Paul apart is his genuine passion and commitment to supporting people. Welcoming new talent, nurturing careers, and collaborating with industry leaders are all things he sees as central to his mission.”
Khalek added that recognition from peers “means a great deal” to Cremer, noting that the Contribution to Industry Award “perfectly reflects who he is: someone who inspires, delivers, and consistently acts with the best interests of his team, his company, and the industry at heart.”
