SOC 2440 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £56,500, and Gama Aviation is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3543 (Project support officers, Role is heavily project coordination and support oriented), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Gama Aviation what the duties actually are.
