Gulf Air achieves a milestone in aircraft safety and control

The approval is considered as one of the firsts of its kind issued by the BCAA for a local company in Bahrain and the region.  

Gulf Air chief executive officer Samer Majali said:   “The CAMO approval not only recognises Gulf Air’s compliance with highest standards of airworthiness and safety regulations but also its in-house capability to achieve and maintain such high standards of our fleet."  

“After many years of outsourcing our fleet management and airworthiness control to outside agencies, we are now able to insource such key technical functions to be taken care of by our own technical team. This will enable us to further improve the quality and airworthiness control of our aircraft, significantly enhancing aircraft safety level while reducing maintenance cost.”  

Majali added: “I would like to extend my special appreciation to the team that has been working tirelessly for the last several months in the preparation of necessary systems, processes and documentation in a very challenging and limited time and accomplishing the task successfully.”
