Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, has achieved 100 per cent Bahrainisation for its second officer pilots as it continues to employ Bahrainis as cadet pilots to gradually grow in their career development until they become captains.

Recently the airline welcomed a new batch of six pilots and congratulated them on their career start with Gulf Air. The chief executive officer of the airline, Krešimir Kučko, and deputy chief executive officer Captain Waleed Al Alawi, as well as members of the executive management, celebrated the new pilots during an event that took place at the airline’s headquarter in Muharraq.

Gulf Air has achieved total Bahrainisation for its second officers as well as male cabin crew. Moreover, 96 per cent of the airline’s first officers are Bahraini with the objective to achieve 100 per cent Bahrainisation for all its captains by 2030. - TradeArabia News Service
