GAA and Gulf Air sign training agreement

In a ceremony held at Gulf Air headquarters in Muharraq, Gulf Air Chief Executive Officer Mr. Samer Majali (left) and GAA Chief Executive Officer Mr. Tim Shattock  signed the agreement  under which GAA will provide a wide range of training services to Gulf Air personnel - pilots, aircraft maintenance engineers, cabin crew, and ground staff on its facilities.

  “GAA has very good facilities that cover most aspects of the airline operations, in addition to its Airbus simulators and soon-to-be-installed Embraer simulator. This is an advantage for Gulf Air as we operate both Airbus and Embraer fleet and will be able to get our pilots and engineers trained right here in Bahrain at the comprehensive GAA campus,” Majali said

GAA’s Shattock said that GAA was born out of the need for an independent aviation training provider in the region spearheaded by Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company. “Within a short span of time, GAA has won international recognition for its training standards and quality of service, having received highly-accredited approvals from the UK-CAA as well as the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). We are now able to offer world-class facilities for our customers” he said.
