Hogan, who has been instrumental in Gulf Air's commercial turnaround to stability, will address the British Business Forum on July 10, at the Crown Plaza in Kuwait.

The forum is expected to host more than 80 people ranging from the British business community in Kuwait, visiting VIPs, trade missions and representatives of overseas agencies in the UK.

Hogan will touch upon Gulf Air's product and services, its commitment to quality and its regional network, which is the biggest in the Middle East.

"I am delighted to be invited to address such a prominent gathering which will help raise awareness about our award winning products and services and the Gulf Air brand as a whole,"


says Hogan.

Gulf Air's strength across the Middle East has been confirmed with a 2006 Skytrax Award for Best Regional Airline. Skytrax Awards provide the most prestigious recognition of outstanding quality excellence for product and customer service delivery across today's world airline industry

With effect from 1 May 2006, Gulf Air has been flying three times daily between Bahrain and Kuwait with an additional daily flight during night. This makes it a total of 21 flights per week from its current 17 services per week.

The increased services from Kuwait means excellent onward connections to Europe and other continents from its two hubs - Bahrain and Oman. Gulf Air's recently announced summer schedule offers more non-stop and direct services to popular destinations such as London and Paris this summer.

The British Business Forum (BBF) is a not-for-profit association of British business people in Kuwait. It aims to foster British business interests and win more trade for the United Kingdom.
