Jo Jurd
Senior Charter Sales Executive
I fell in love with travel 20 years ago when I took a year out to travel the world on my return, I knew I wanted to share with other people the experience and became a travel agent for a long-haul travel company personally designing and creating bespoke touring packages. After 6 fantastic years I changed paths and in 2007 moved into private aviation where I could again help people travel the world. With over 14 years of private aviation experience, ranging from chartering short European one-ways to multi-sector luxury travel tours on private jets and luxury airliners, there isn’t much I haven’t come across or had to work on. I still love a challenge, particularly when learning about new travel destinations and there is no greater satisfaction than providing our customers with the aircraft type and service they need.
Favourite aircraft: Embraer Legacy 650 – It is certainly one of the aircraft I have chartered most often
Favourite destination: Bali

Direct charter sales team.
Chartering band tours, or at major sporting events like the Ryder Cup or Football World Cup takes expertise, experience, dedication and leg work. Both Wendy and Emma have proved themselves in this world, developing an enviable client list, that values their skill sets and returns safe in the knowledge the service they receive will be, as always, first class.
This knowledge will prove invaluable as the department grows and develops and we are certain that our direct charter service will become the envy of the charter market.
Emma Suddaby-Brown
Charter Sales Account Manager
I have worked in the world of aircraft charter from 1986, learning pretty fast (it was sink or swim) how to work in the crazy world of film, entertainment and media. From there I worked for 10 years in London, carrying on in the same vein and adding to my portfolio of charter clients from banking, private clients, royal family and music. Wendy and I owned and ran our own air charter brokerage for many years working predominantly in the world of music (be it touring, promoting or private performances) and major sporting events (in particular Golf and F1).
Having joined the team at Gama Aviation we continue to focus on working closely with our clients specialising in providing dedicated charter solutions.
Favourite aircraft: Falcon 900, it invokes happy memories and laughs / tense moments while waiting at Farnborough Airport.

Wendy Murphy
Charter Sales Account Manager
I started my career in charter aviation back in 1983. I have worked on countless projects and challenging charters including a Boeing 747 for all the UK based news teams travelling to New York to cover 9/11 (which included sleeping on the floor at Luton until US air space re-opened).
I’ve provided aircraft for major worldwide entertainment and sports events including touring the Ryder Cup trophy around every Welsh golf course for the event at Celtic Manor.
In moving to Gama Aviation Emma and I continue to deliver the boutique service that we are renowned for whilst drawing on our experience and relationships with operators to ensure the appointment of best fit aircraft and seamless service delivery.
Favourite aircraft: I have a soft spot for the Challenger 604 as it’s the first heavy jet I flew on.
