Chris Dawes added, “Gemstone Aviation focusses on great customer service. We can broker the sales of your existing aircraft to maximise your capital return and then help you buy the right aircraft based on your needs.
“We can manage your new aircraft for you and provide independent advice about registration paperwork, insurance, management and maintenance. As owners, instructors and operators, we understand your issues, risks and opportunities for fun with your aircraft. We will give you unbiased advise at every stage.
Gemstone Aviation is the new UK & Ireland distributor for Diamond aircraft and will soon have a DA62 twin as a demo aircraft.
Henrik Burkal is Director, Sales and Demonstrations. He has had ten years with Diamond Aircraft UK and previously worked with Diamond Aircraft at Air Alpha in 1996/97. Henrik has more than 40 years experience of General and Business Aviation.
