Gulf Air has come a long way since it launched services in 1950 as Gulf Aviation Company. Owned by the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Sultanate of Oman the airline started as a small scale commuter service, serving the oil fields of the Gulf and some regional customers. Today, Gulf Air is a major international airline serving 46 destinations worldwide. However, whether it is 10 or 100 destinations, seven seater planes or the latest state of the art jets, our goal has remained constant - a commitment to the latest aviation technology and an adherence to traditional Arabian hospitality.Gulf Air Board of Directors ChairmanShaikh Mohammed bin Abdulla Al Harthy,Minister of Transport and Communication, Sultanate of Oman.Deputy ChairmanMahmood Hashem Al Kooheji, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company, Kingdom of Bahrain.MembersKingdom of BahrainKhalid Omar Al Rumaihi, Principal, Investcorp Bank, Kingdom of Bahrain.Michael Wette, Partner & Managing Director of Roland Berger Middle East in Bahrain.Jawad Habib Jawad, Country Senior Partner, BDO Jawad Habib.Sultanate of OmanDarwish bin Ismail Al Bulooshi, Undersecretary Financial Affairs.Salim bin Mohammed bin Abdulla Al Naimi, Undersecretary for Transport.Captain Mohammed bin Sakhar Al Aameri, Undersecretary for Civil Aviation.
