Gulf Air Enhances Safety

Gulf Air, the national airline of the kingdom of Bahrain, has embraced new software for aviation safety and quality management as part of its growth and expansion strategy. Gulf Air has adopted the Aviation Quality Database (AQD), which combines quality and assurance auditing with flight, cabin maintenance and ground safety occurrence reporting. Safety management is the systematic management of the risks associated with flight operations, related ground operations and aircraft engineering or maintenance activities to achieve the highest level of safety performance. Gulf Air's Vice President for Safety Captain Paolo Fitze said the new system will set a new benchmark for aviation safety management in the region. "This new system will help us achieve our business goal to have the best safety performance and move beyond mere compliance with regulatory requirements," he added.
