Technology is the way ahead for Gulf Air. This is evident with the airline’s tech-driven transformation with significant new efficiency enhancements for internal and external workers.
The carrier has enlisted global Application Delivery Networking leader F5 Networks to optimize availability, reliability and security of around 100 critical business applications. This will enable employees to better connect, collaborate and innovate. The partnership with F5 will see deployment of F5® BIG-IP® Local Traffic Manager™ (LTM) to simplify, automate, and customize application delivery.
In addition to boosting overall operational efficiency and slashing total cost of ownership (TCO), F5’s solutions will scale to handle Gulf Air’s future growth trajectory.
Dr Jassim Haji, director of information technology, Gulf Air, said: “Our transformation into one of the region’s most technology-savvy companies is at the heart of our growth strategy. F5’s solutions introduce a new and essential level of flexibility for our workers in a secure, efficient and eminently scalable manner. It also saves us a considerable amount on TCO by consolidating existing systems.”
Technology is at the forefront of Gulf Air’s recent resurgence, which has been driven by a number of major cost-saving initiatives delivering 28% cost-savings year-on-year and a 14% passenger yield increase between 2012 and 2013.
