Batelco and Gulf Air sign new deal for communication

Manama : Batelco, and Gulf Air have signed an agreement to ensure the delivery of the latest communications solutions for Gulf Air’s evolving operation.

The agreement also extends the business relationship of the firms who are marking 40 years of partnership.

Under the agreement, Batelco will provide Gulf Air with the latest communications solutions based on Dedicated Internet Access, Local MPLS and Global MPLS networks. 

The new agreement was signed by Batelco Bahrain CEO Muna Al Hashemi and Gulf Air CEO Maher Salman Al Musallam during a meeting held recently at Gulf Air’s Muharraq headquarters. 

Speaking on the occasion Al Hashemi said, “Batelco is proud to have worked with Gulf Air for 40 years and looks forward to building on the relationship for years to come.”

During the meeting Al Musallam said, “The new agreement allows Gulf Air to continue utilizing the latest technologies as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our operations and elevate our customers’ service experience.”

Gulf Air is committed to elevating the customer service experience on-board and continuous technological development is a key factor in this. In 2014 Gulf Air rolled out its new generation iPad Electronic Flight Bags to all the airline’s pilots in order to facilitate the airline’s flight-critical communications while increasing operational efficiency and eliminating paper-based flight materials.
