Gulf Air has for the first time brought all key security personnel from outstations under one roof in a bid to further strengthen the vigilance and security measures across the airline's network.

The day-long seminar deliberated on reinforcing effective security systems, identify existing and emerging risks/threats, carry-out gap analysis, develop and promote a pro-active approach to solve day-to-day problems.

A range of relevant topics were covered in the seminar held at the Golden Tulip hotel.

"Security is of paramount importance to Gulf Air which aims to be the airline of choice," said Gulf Air chief executive officer Bjorn Naf, who attended the conference.

"We have brought all our key security personnel from across the network as we want to create synergies to further strengthen our vigilance," said Naf.

Gulf Air's acting head of security Narinder Pal Yadav thanked Naf for his support for the conference.

"The seminar has been quite fruitful as it has served as a platform for Gulf Air security personnel to know each other, share their ideas and know about their unique ways to solve the problems including regulatory compliance."

The speakers also included Kroll director Pino Falbo, who was invited on the basis of his extensive knowledge in the field of fraud prevention and his close association with the airline.

The seminar also paid tribute to head of security Rinus Moerdijk, who passed away last month.-TradeArabia News Service
