I love the video clip on the Iraqi Airways website.

"We take pride in our unrivaled safety record and highly trained staff. Our majestic fleet of aircraft offer the luxury that both the casual and business customer will enjoy"

Sounds too good to be true!

For those who actually think this is a safety issue and are concerned then we should write letters, call and have meeting with our Fleet Managers and Chief Pilots as professionals
There is a 'town hall' meeting coming up very soon if you haven't already heard.

well my vote is to "yes" start the flight already...hopefully nothing bad will happen...if the US army refueling planes are not in danger so why cant GF planes be in danger?

Lets see who has the BALLS to go to the CEO and pilots meeting on the 12th of August from 17:00-19:00. It's at HQ Gulf Air. And those that make the biggest Stink here on the rumor channel and who happen to be on "Fantasy" Island should put up or shut up !


Just my two cents.

that's nice

Gulf air would have some help in carrying some pax to Baghdad.I have just two more questions . why it isn't it safe for GF to fly to Iraq but it is safe for the RJ to fly there? why would the rebals try to fire missils at GF and not at the US militarys refeuling aircrafts which land at that airport?

no such official invitation, buddy. are you sure this is not a ploy to get ppuners identified when they turn up? if it is, you are obviously management. if not, then maybe not all are invited.

you must be ugly read! reflecting your insecurities . i am new to this forum try not to take the advantage.You should look at you spellings first. I would not advice you to attend the meeting.brass plate is right its just a plan to identify the PPRuNe users.If they really wanted to invite you,you all would receive emails or some message from "hello gulf air"

hope every one finds this article useful

National carrier Gulf Air has upgraded its flight safety standards by acquiring an integrated state-of –the-art Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) system, also known as Flight Operation Quality Assurance (Foqa) system.
The airline has recently signed a three year partnership with Austin Digital, Texas, USA - a leading Foqa provider – to implement the complete infrastructure at Gulf Air headquarters.
FDM is the systematic and pro-active use of digital flight data from routine operations that helps an airline to improve its fleet safety. It is a well accepted and mandatory part of today’s safety management systems in global aviation industry.
“Gulf Air has a well-established Accident Prevention and Flight Safety Program and regularly upgrades its systems and procedures so that it maintains the highest flight safety standards,” said Gulf Air chief operating officer Capt Chris Cain.
“The new integrated FDM system offers a robust and sophisticated functionality to analyse and optimise our daily flight operations helping us increase our fleet’s technical dispatch reliability.
“The system also offers remote access to in-flight data that facilitates a more efficient maintenance planning and in our daily aircraft system’s troubleshooting processes. Furthermore, the service offers a solid basis for additional financial savings in the fields of guarantees and warranties, ATC charges, fuel savings, etc,” he added.
Besides setting up and implementing the FDM service, Austin Digital will also provide continuous support to technical system operation and flight safety/flight operations efficiency know-how after completion of the project
