by Shirajiv Sirimane Gulf Air , implementing changes to its network in Africa and Asia has decided to terminate operations to Casablanca and Colombo from March 25. "However, our first commitment remains to our customers and steps are already in place to minimise any potential impact of this decision," Gulf Air's Vice President Network, Fareed Al Alawi, said. "Assistance will be provided to ensure seamless travel with minimal disruption when the change is implemented at the end of March. Representation will be retained in Colombo through the appointed General Sales Agent (GSA), and the office in Morocco will remain open until other measures are in place." The withdrawal strategy is presently being finalised and full details will be discussed with personnel in both countries during the course of the next few days. The tremendous contribution of everyone in these stations is recognised and appreciated by senior management and every effort is being made to ensure that all individuals affected by the decision are cared for appropriately. This decision will allow the airline to re-allocate their assets more effectively, strengthening their network in key areas, either by increasing flight frequencies to key destinations or by assigning the aircraft for service on high demand sectors. In a stronger position than it has been for many years, Gulf Air has announced plans to optimise performance across the business and its network to ensure that the airline meets its objectives for 2005. |
