Bahrain's national carrier, Gulf Air has reached a major milestone in its aircraft safety and airworthiness control by getting the coveted Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) approval from Bahrain Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA).
The approval is considered as one of the first of its kind issued by the BCAA for a local company in Bahrain and the region.
Gulf Air CEO Samer Majali, pictured above, said: "The CAMO approval not only recognises Gulf Air's compliance with highest standards of airworthiness and safety regulations but also its in-house capability to achieve and maintain such high standards of our fleet.
"After many years of outsourcing our fleet management and airworthiness control to outside agencies, we are now able to insource such key technical functions to be taken care of by our own technical team. This will enable us to further improve the quality and airworthiness control of our aircraft, significantly enhancing aircraft safety level while reducing maintenance cost."
Gulf Air director-engineering & airworthiness Jamal Hashim, who was heading the project team added: "This is a very significant milestone for our national carrier and a great recognition of our skills and capabilities."
