Gulf Air has insourced its Fleet Technical Management (FTM) responsibility. This move underscores the airline’s engineering expertise and technical capabilities to undertake base-maintenance of its entire fleet completely in-house, bringing in a range of cost-saving and operational benefits for the airline.
Gulf Air CEO Samer Majali said: “We now take charge of full Fleet Technical Management (FTM) responsibility, demonstrating our in-house technical expertise. In-sourcing is a key part of our overall business strategy as it allows us to refocus on our engineering and maintenance systems and processes so that we achieve technical self-reliance and self-sufficiency.”
He further added: “This move allows us full control over the quality of aircraft servicing and safety standards, operational reliability, a robust aircraft maintenance system. In addition, by insourcing, we are significantly reducing the maintenance cost, resulting in cost-savings to the company.”
