STOCK WATCH

GAMA Aviation, which rents out and services private jets, saw shares rise yesterday after strong growth in its US air charter division.

The firm grew across all of its operations over the first half of the year due to strong demand, but in particular benefited from a contract with pay-as-you-fly plane charter club Wheels Up.

Boss Marwan Khalek said trading remains in line with full-year expectations.

Gama shares rose 1.2pc, or 3p, to 246.5p.
