Robins, who joined Gama back in 2015, will stand down as chairman "in due course".
The aviation services firm told investors that the search for a replacement had already begun.
Gama issued a profit warning back in October, revealing that annual profits would come in roughly $3m below expectations after subdued recent trading across its divisions.
The Hampshire-based group said the "substantial growth" projected at its interim results had failed to materialise and that trading in certain divisions had not improved sufficiently to deliver its previous full-year expectations.
As of 1430 GMT, Gama shares had climbed 7.37% to 153p.
