3DReid’s design proposal for Gama Aviation’s £10.5m business aviation facility at Jersey Airport has received unanimous backing from members of the Government of Jersey Planning Committee.
The new facility will house Jersey’s air ambulance, along with a state-of-the-art VIP passenger lounge for private jet users and business jet crew facilities. Gama Aviation had a clear vision on the level of design quality and identity which they were looking to achieve.
Through collaboration with the client, design team, and local authority, 3DReid delivered an ambitious, creative scheme which met the aspirations of the client and the requirements of the brief within a sensitive environment.
The proposal delivers a 64,000sqft hangar with 10m internal clearance, associated Fixed Base Operation facility, 40,000sqft Apron upgrade, and BREEAM rating of Very Good.
Mark Lorimer, Head of Industry & Technology, 3DReid commented:
“We are absolutely delighted that the Business Aviation Facility for Gama Aviation secured the unanimous approval of the Government of Jersey Planning Committee. The outcome is a testament to the hard work, collaboration, and design expertise of 3DReid and the wider design team, along with the vision of Gama Aviation. The positive response reflects the effort we’ve all put into delivering a high-quality project. We couldn’t be more proud of the design and the outcome, and we are very much looking forward to the next stages of the project.”
Tim Pedley, Regional Director Jersey, Gama Aviation commented:
“We’ve been working with 3DReid for nearly two and a half years. It’s been a real pleasure partnering with them on this landmark project for both Jersey and Gama Aviation.
They’ve understood the significance of the undertaking, our ambitions to enhance the vital air ambulance service for Islanders and to provide first-class business aviation facilities for passengers, plus the wider economic potential of this new initiative.
From understanding the brief to expertly guiding us through the process, 3DReid has navigated numerous challenges, resulting in a successful planning application in October 2024.
