Bahraini Ahmed Mohamed Abdulla Janahi has been appointed as the new Vice President- Ground Services.

Ahmed Janahi has worked in several duty stations of Gulf Air during his 24- year long career with Gulf Air.

Joining Gulf Air in 1983 taking care of ‘passenger services’ at Abu Dhabi station, he subsequently moved on to become airport duty officer, and duty manager in Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Manila (Philippines) , Dhahran (Saudi Arabia)  and Chennai (India).

He also worked in sales and marketing in Kathmandu (Nepal) before moving to Bahrain in 2004 as airport duty manager. He became the head of Bahrain hub in August 2006, a position which he held before being elevated as Vice President Ground Services.

“Ground service is a complex job involving the coordination of several logistics to ensure everything goes well,” says Gulf Air Chief Operating Officer Bjorn Naf.

“Ahmed’s rich ground-handling experience in several locations is a great advantage to Gulf Air. Besides, he is very well recognised in the airline industry and possesses an unassuming personality and ability to tackle difficult situations and people.”

“I am glad to be a part of the new and challenging environment of Gulf Air,” says Ahmed Janahi.

“As the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, Gulf Air is an integral part of the growth of the country and I will ensure to combine my knowledge, skills and experience to achieve the goal Gulf Air has set.”
