Gulf Air CE resigns
The CE of Gulf Air, Maher Salman Al Musallam has resigned, with the airline’s board accepting his decision. No reason was given for his decision. Al Musallam was previously deputy CE at Gulf Air, then had an extended period as acting CE following the 2012 departure of his predecessor, Samer Majali. He resigned as acting CE immediately following the Jan 2016 Bahrain International Air Show, only to be confirmed in the top position a few months later. Under his regime, the heavily loss-making carrier has been clawing its way back towards break-even, although the airline is still thought to be losing money. It lost BD196m (US$520m) in 2012; this had been reduced to BD24.1m in 2015. Its 2016 financial results are expected shortly. <br/>
