Gulf Air achieves maintenance milestone

Gulf Air’s acting chief technical officer Jamal Hashim said: “Today’s achievement is a clear demonstration of Gulf Air’s in-house engineering capabilities and strengths that reflect the ongoing training and development of our team , delivering several major milestones in the past such as the recent insourcing of our Airbus A330 18-Month and 42-Month Checks. I would like to congratulate Gulf Air’s entire technical team for completing this major check at the highest level of workmanship and efficiency. I look forward to realising further milestones in our strategy in future.”

In line with the airline’s ongoing efforts to streamline its operations for greater efficiency and cost reduction, Gulf Air’s technical Division has successfully insourced the C1/C3 Checks on its A320/A321 fleet and 18/48-Month Checks on its A330 fleet. The national carrier is also currently performing A320 20-Month Checks in addition to the A Checks, Out-of-Phase Checks and line maintenance, for its all-Airbus fleet.
