MANAMA, May 25, 2017

Gulf Air’s new board is currently assessing and tailoring the Bahrain national carrier’s business strategy focusing on the airline’s future within the dynamic field of aviation and in line with the airline’s longstanding mission, it has been revealed.

“We are optimistic for what the future holds for our national carrier,” said Gulf Air board chairman Zayed Bin Rashid Alzayani, Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism.

He was speaking after the first board of directors meeting following the appointment of its new members and under the chairmanship Alzayani.

He stressed the importance of professional synergies and collective efforts in support of Bahrain’s national carrier and for the greater benefit of the kingdom.

"Today’s meeting was not only an important strategic milestone in support of our mutual endeavours and mission to direct and support Gulf Air, but it marked a critical junction whereby momentum was set for our airline’s future trajectory.

“We are optimistic for what the future holds for our national carrier and what the combined efforts of Gulf Air’s Board of Directors, management team, workforce and various stakeholders can deliver as we collectively work to implement a business strategy that, as part of the airline’s greater mission, further strengthens its position as a key national infrastructure asset that supports the kingdom’s economic growth,” Alzayani said.

Apart from Alzayani, the board also includes Shaikh Mohammed bin Essa Al Khalifa, Dr Dawood Nassif Dawood, Jameel Ali Al Matrook, Essa Mohamed Najibi, Jean-Christophe Durand and Jassim Hassan Abdelaal.

Bahrain's national carrier's future plans are geared towards realising a broad spectrum of positive developments as it achieves full commercial sustainability and increasingly focuses on managing and further investing in its ongoing growth, development and long-term expansion capabilities, a statement said.

Gulf Air's new incoming fleet comprises 10 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, 17 Airbus A321neo and 12 Airbus A320neo aircraft with deliveries commencing from the second quarter of 2018, it added. – TradeArabia News Service
