Gulf Air has congratulated 28 trainee engineers following their successful completion of their two year on-the-job-training with the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain.

This is the second group of candidates that have completed their two-year training with Gulf Air.

The voluntary training was provided as part of the airline’s Corporate Social Responsibility programme to develop local talents.

Presenting the credentials to the trainees, Gulf Air chief executive Samer Majali said: “I am pleased to see the second batch of bright and young Bahrainis completing their training at Gulf Air.

“The training reinforces our commitment to developing Bahraini talent and I am glad that the national carrier has joined hands with Tamkeen in providing this valuable training opportunity.”

The trainees came to Gulf Air after completing their initial theoretical training at Bahrain Airport Services (BAS).

The training programme was sponsored by Tamkeen.
