Mr. Moerdijk was not feeling well for the past couple of days and the peaceful end came following a heart attack last night. His wife was with him during his last moments. During his tenures with Gulf Air he brought in several remarkable improvements to the airline security system including complete review and reorganisation of the security department, starting a security training programme for aircrew, training and inducting Bahraini security staff, stepping up vigilance procedures at airport and other sensitive areas and, strengthening the security system with latest equipment. "Rinus was a thorough professional in dealing with security issues and he was passionate about his job. On a personal front he was kind, caring and friendly," says Gulf Air President and Chief Executive Björn Näf. "His expertise in risk analysis and threat assessment, handling complex investigations and negotiations, gathering and evaluating intelligence from a world wide network that might impact the airline's operational security, was very valuable to us." "We will surely miss his great personality and his in-depth professional knowledge and wisdom." A Dutch national, Mr. Moerdijk is survived by his wife, a son, a daughter and three grand children. |
