“As the national airline of the Kingdom of Bahrain, we are proud to be part of Bahrain’s delegation led by His Highness the Crown Prince Sheik Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa to represent Bahrain on a global stage,” says Gulf Air Chairman of the Board of Directors Mr. Mahmood Al Kooheji.

“Our involvement is an important development for both the Kingdom of Bahrain and Gulf Air. For many years now Bahrain has been the financial hub of the Middle East and as this gains momentum it is important that Gulf Air supports the increasing important role that Bahrain plays on the global stage.”

President and Chief Executive Björn Näf, who hails from Switzerland, says he is proud to be part of Bahrain’s delegation to his home country, Switzerland.

“Bahrain is a small country with big opportunities and I am proud to be part of the delegation to promote with progressive Kingdom in my homeland.”

The theme of this year’s conference ‘The Power of Collaborative Innovation,’ is of particular interest to Gulf Air, says Näf.

Gulf Air’s business agenda is aligned to and driven by the dynamic growth plans of the Kingdom and as we look to the future ambitions of Gulf Air and Bahrain there is no doubt that collaborative innovation will form a key factor in enabling us to achieve our goals.
