Gulf AIr completes phase one of fleet renewal with two more A320 aircraft

The two new aircraft arrived just before Christmas and have already been inducted into fleet.

Gulf Air chief executive Samer Majali said. “The arrival of these two aircraft successfully completes the first phase of our fleet renewal programme as per schedule.”

“Now more than 40% of our fleet is brand new, demonstrating our dynamic fleet-renewal plan, which is a core component of the company's new strategy to create a commercially sustainable business with a strong product offering. Besides, having a new, more efficient fleet means we can deliver a better service to our customers and at the same time we can lower our costs’. 

He continued, “As we complete our 60^th anniversary year we are proud of the fact that we are on the right track in our strategy-  from receiving new aircraft, launching new routes, offering  new  products to  cost control across the board. Our fleet renewal strategy will continue in 2011 and we will continue to receive more aircraft during 2011 and after.”
