Look out gents! There are 150 bahraini women heading your way! 
Gulf Air and Tamkeen have signed an agreement to encourage more Bahrainis, particularly females, to join the national carrier in key customer-facing positions with a major focus on opportunities to become members of the airline’s cabin crew.
The agreement, made today at Bahrain International Air Show, will provide training for 150 Bahraini females to join Gulf Air’s Cabin Crew.
Recognising Bahrain’s traditional family values and the importance placed on home life, Gulf Air has developed new flexible scheduling benefits for local Bahraini females joining as Flight Attendants.
Recruits can opt to fly only turn around flights, this means that they will not be required to take overnight flights. For those wanting to fly the airlines entire network this is also an option.
These benefits will not only enable them to make use of their skills gained in higher education, such as speaking foreign languages, but also ensure they do not miss out on their family life at home in Bahrain while at the same time fulfilling their ambitions to explore the different cities in the region.
The airline employs a total of 1500 cabin crew of which less than 27% are Bahraini, an issue which the airline would like to address.
