Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, received a commemorative shield in recognition of its “Bahrainization” efforts, as part of the 38th annual ceremony honoring outstanding employees and distinguished establishments in the private sector for 2023. The ceremony was held by the Ministry of Labour, under the auspices of King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa. Captain Waleed Al-Alawi, chief executive of Gulf Air, received the award on behalf of the company. This tribute comes in recognition of the company’s initiatives aimed at enhancing economic growth, diversifying national income sources, and investing in human capital by implementing innovative policies that promote sustainability and help the company achieve its objectives, in line with the national goals for institutional development and human resource empowerment.
Honoring the national workforce that has achieved remarkable accomplishments in various sectors emphasizes the importance of the local talents’ contribution to the national development process.

During the ceremony, four distinguished employees in the Gulf Air Group’s subsidiaries were honored, including Gulf Air, Bahrain Airport Company, the operator and managing body of Bahrain International Airport, and Gulf Aviation Academy.
Chairman of Gulf Air Group Holding Zayed R. Alzayani said: “Honoring the national workforce that has achieved remarkable accomplishments in various sectors emphasizes the importance of the local talents’ contribution to the national development process, led by King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa and supported by Prime Minister and Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa. It also confirms the great role that private sector businesses play in attracting and developing the national workforce.”
Alzayani congratulated the employees of Gulf Air Group’s subsidiaries and urged them to strive for greater accomplishments, considering this recognition as a motivation for further dedication to serve the country.
This is the second recognition that Gulf Air has received for its efforts in attracting, qualifying, and employing national talents, as it was honored previously during the 37th ceremony held by the Ministry of Labour in 2022 to honor hardworking employees and distinguished establishments in the private sector.
