Gulf Air acting CE offers resignation

The acting CE of Gulf Air, Maher Salman Al Musallam, has tendered his resignation, the airline has confirmed. Al Musallam became acting CE of the carrier in Dec 2012 following the resignation of previous CE Samer Majali. It was never fully explained why he remained in the role in an acting capacity for such an extended period. There was no indication at last week's Bahrain International Air Show, where he signed major orders to re-equip the airline's fleet, that Al Musallam planned to resign. During his time at the carrier, he has overseen a major restructuring and turnaround program, which has steadily reduced the airline's large deficit. The financial figures for 2015, due to be announced in the next couple of months, are expected to see a further reduction in losses, with the carrier expected to be nearing breakeven. <br/>
