"This significant achievement is a result of Gulf Air's strong and continuous commitment to the highest levels of international safety and quality standards set by IATA in all fields of aviation," said Gulf Air President and Chief Executive, James Hogan.
He praised the dedication and continuous efforts of the Gulf Air management and staff to achieve the certification ahead of schedule.
The audits were developed by IATA and determine the standards for safety and quality covering various areas in the airlines activities such as security, flight operations, maintenance, ground services and cargo.
The programme aims to standardize and promote air safety practices, and is accredited by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) and all the aviation authorities around the world.
The successful completion of the audit positions Gulf Air amongst the world major airlines that comply with internationally recognised safety standards, regulations and industry best practices.
The IATA audit covers airline activities in the areas of organization and management, flight operations, cabin operations, maintenance, security, ground services, and cargo.

Gulf Air was founded in 1950. Today, it is owned by the Kingdom of Bahrain, Oman and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and is the only truly pan Gulf carrier in the region. The airline's network stretches from Europe to Asia and covers 44 cities in 30 countries. The fleet is one of the most modern in the Middle East and comprises 34 aircraft.
The airline is in the last year of a three-year strategic recovery programme, headed by President and Chief Executive, James Hogan. The airline, which is making rapid strides towards regaining profitability in 2005, aims to further evolve by taking its renowned cultural strengths, which have been gained over more than half a century, into a global environment.
The dramatic turnaround in Gulf Air's fortunes has won international recognition.
