Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain received a commemorative shield in recognition for Bahrainization efforts among companies, as part of the 38^th annual ceremony honouring outstanding hard-working employees and distinguished establishments in the private sector. The ceremony was held by the Ministry of Labour, under the auspices of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. Captain Waleed Al Alawi, the Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Air, received the award on behalf of the company.

This tribute comes in recognition of the company’s initiatives aimed at enhancing economic growth, diversifying national income sources, and investing in the human capital by implementing innovative policies that promote sustainability and help the company achieve its objectives, in line with the national goals for institutional development and human resource empowerment.

During the ceremony, four distinguished workers in the Gulf Air Group’s subsidiaries were honoured, including Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Bahrain Airport Company, the operator and managing body of Bahrain International Airport (BIA), and Gulf Aviation Academy.

Chairman of Gulf Air Group Holding H.E. Zayed R. Alzayani, commented on the achievement, “Honouring the national workforce that has achieved remarkable accomplishments in various sectors emphasizes the importance of the local talents’ contribution to the national development process, led by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and supported by the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. It also confirms the great role that private sector businesses play in attracting and developing the national workforce.”

He further expressed his contentment on Gulf Air receiving the shield of distinguished establishments for Bahrainization efforts  of the year. He considered this recognition by His Majesty the King as a testament of Gulf Air Group continuous efforts in developing human resources, in line with the group’s vision of creating new initiatives to meet the growing needs of the aviation sector in the kingdom. These initiatives aimed at helping to achieve the objectives of Bahrain Vision 2030.
