Gulf Air: What Mr. Kooheji is saying these days.
New airplanes (Inshallah) next year, more Airbus A320's, new interiors and entertainment systems, Dublin, Singapore and a few more routes perhaps and greater frequency to existing ones, Shanghai and USA destinations.
DATE:07/03/08 SOURCE:Flightglobal.com Gulf Air focuses on fleet replacement By Megan Kuhn Bahraini flag-carrier Gulf Air aims to revamp its current fleet before the first of 16 Boeing 787 aircraft on order is delivered to the carrier in 2016. During a signing ceremony today for the 787 aircraft in Washington, DC Chairman Mahmood Hashim Al Kooheji told flightglobal.com's sister premium news site ATI: “We hope to get new aircraft in our fleet next year.” The carrier is particularly interested in the Airbus A320, he says. Al Kooheji says Gulf Air is also interested in upgrading interiors of its existing aircraft and installing state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment (IFE). Flight’s ACAS database shows Gulf Air flies 10 Airbus A320-200s, six A330-200s, nine A340-300s, two Boeing 737-800s and four 767-300ERs. Gulf Air is also in the process of revamping its network, “consolidating the routes we have,” and possibly adding new destinations, the carrier’s Chairman says. “Most likely, [we’ll] return to discontinued routes,” Al Kooheji notes, such as Singapore and Dublin. He also says Gulf Air will “add more frequencies to existing routes.” Other markets recently cut by Gulf Air include Hong Kong, Sydney, Johannesburg and Jakarta. Last month the airline unveiled plans to inaugurate nonstop service to Shanghai in June. During the signing, Al Kooheji expressed interest in resurrecting US service. The carrier ceased US flights in 1997; however, Gulf Air has had a codeshare with American Airlines since 1994. “Gulf Air is now really moving forward. Hopefully we will be flying back to the US very soon,” says Al Kooheji. |
More aircrafts next year? Could be more A330-2/3's and A340-3/5/6's leased from Boeing?
Let's see... :ok: |
Hope to see action on the complete refurb soon.
Don't think speed tape will cover this one. We must be at least the same standard as our local competitors to keep the customers happily flying with us. |
This is the same guy that said 747's are on there way and that there will be 1500 redundancies amongst expats!! Say no moron
|
I see you are one of the sharp tacks in GF. Hope you are not a Captain (level 4 please)
|
Maybe just a grammatical error. :}
Happy landings. |
Hope to see action on the complete refurb soon. Don't think speed tape will cover this one. Fresh speed tape is in the order (several crates of it) to replace the peeling tape currently on the aircraft. ;) |
Cam32, I think MaffiFaloos was referring to the chairman. He did mention the 747 once. I wish he would stop making statements like that and let the PCE do that. If you notice, he jumps at any opportunity to announce elaborate plans but when the news is bleak, the PCE gets to make those announcements.
|
Are there any new rumors floating concerning new aircraft next year? What is the status of the mentioned A320 order?
Thanks Stefan |
Has GF ever hired or do they hire direct entry captains?
|
Boys on A320
Why captain A. Alkohejey alwyes do ferry flights to the ZRH....
he just become a captain..and there are SNR BOYS on A320...................is that caz he related to the bose?????? |
To answer your question Casa..they have in the past hired DEC's, however all recent vacancies and future ones are being filled by qualified senior f.o.'s...never say never, but it's highly unlikely GF will need to recruit DEC's in the foreseeable future..

whats it matter to have that capt flying to zrh? seniority counts for nothing in this regard.
|
Capt Fatal again! the way he replies he is either drunk or drunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HARAM! maybe the office does not trust you to fly anythere except DMM DOH AUH or MCT in the best case scenario
|
Hey TMAX
i leave DMM DOH AUH for you., caz i am not a320 or b767 driver,, you can enjoy those sectores.....why some people here do not like to know the reality........he just few months since become a captain..........there are boys in a320 already complained regarding........all the the ZRH flight he have to do it why.........???..........so...:ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ok:
|
This sort of stuff is kind of worrying.....
|
Capt Fatal,

Crapt_Fatal, :yuk:, you are NOT a320 !!!Then, :yuk::yuk: I don’t see you complaining about all the Dublin flts... is capt. Al Ansary related to you then or the CO....:suspect:

Ironbutt57
Ib watch it up.....alot of boys started to talk about your standard on A320........i do not know how you become a TRE on that fleet........SANJY...is all your fault......watch it up before another 072
|
IB's standards on the Boeing and previous to that have been just fine, and well enough to maintain a TRI/E endorsement on those types as well. I would suggest that if suddenly there is an issue its more likely with the whingers on the 320 than with IB.
And i'd bet every cent of my salary for the rest of my career that if someone like IB had been upfront on GF72 that accident would never had happened regardless of what seat he was occuppying. Fatal you can be a positive tw@t at times. |
oh no. J---m aka Capt Fatal is back to his reputation wrecking ways.
hey fatal, you must either be stupid, or really stupid. whenever you start making comments like this, you 1. damage your reputation as a TRE!!! (can't believe you are even one) 2. damage your airline's reputation 3. damage your standing with your fellow TRI/TRE's don't you realise everyone knows who you are? it is idiots like you who were on 072, the type who think they know it all. |
CAPT FATAL,
In the past I had disagreements with some of Ironbutt's postings but making such comments on a public forum about someone like ironbutt who does not particularly hide his identity is shameful, if you have any problems with his performance you should report it to the related authority, or come up with your own identity here so that we all know who you are. I personally don't even think that you are a local pilot because almost all of the local pilots are fantastic to work together. If you are who Brassplate claims you are then what a shame because I always thought the person brassplate mentioned was a nice guy as well. Have a nice day ! |
to all
WHY SOME PEOPLE CAN NOT ACCEPT THE REALITY...!!!!!!!!!!.........
How .....for some one just been on a320 for less than 6 months.....has an ability to train second officers.......come on boys be more realistic.....for info 2 f/o had to take control from him during approch.....more facts on coming days........:=:=:= |
Capt_Fatal,
Yeah..........we accept reality. Pity you don't though, because your last post seems to indicate that it's pretty much impossible for you to make a comeback when you obviously haven't been anywhere. :8 |
Capt Fatal:
It is a shame that you can post such crap. It only goes to show your level of `professionalism` and as such a representative of the company. IronButt is an example of a fine pilot and a fine person!!! Slandering him here is not proper. Incidentally ... I`ve flown with you in the past ... DO YOU REALLY THINK YOUR THAT GOOD??? Think Again! |
Fatal..............
You're a ********! Here's a repeat of a famous old flame you tool.....read and weep.......... I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun in the Arabian Gulf stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhhh! Get the point, you bloody clown? :ugh: |
:zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz::zzz::ouch :
|
Fatal f*kwit,
you know you're a nutcase when everyone elses reality is different to yours. |
:ouch::ouch::ouch::ouch::ouch::ouch::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh ::ugh::ugh::ugh::{

check out fatal's pm to me, guys. such professionalism.
quote: if u think you know my full name just go ahead and disclose me...monkey.........remember i know who are you...wait for me in sim....this will be your last sim in GF.....**** off i'm so scared. someone, help me:( bwahahaha....:} the calibre of this GF TRE is frightening. can the aviation world observe one of the few remaining bad apples in GF? you should take your talent where it is needed....like angola or something. here's another pm from our revered friend. quote: **** you....go back to your mother ****er country...........my country my airline......our boys will kick you out such a lovely character ain't he? |
it is easy to write on this forum...and pointing to others........is that right Bress..........god bless........:p
|
Yes Fatal...it is easy to write on this forum accusing others...as in the past I invite you to present your facts in the office so my errors and/or incapacity can be brought to light...some statements from the first officers who were involved in taking control of the aircraft would be most welcome, as a review of the appropriate QAR tapes can bring all the details to light. If you are really who and what you claim to be, then safety would be your primary concern, and proper action must be taken, not hiding behind your name on Pprune and making unsupported statements.
|
IB........... the facts will disclose in coming days.....sanjy is heavily involved in it......just matter of days and every one will knows....just watch.......... how much you knows about airbus?????? i feel sorry for second officers.........
|
Yes I look forward to it....and meeting you face to face and discussing this..I don't claim to be an Airbus expert by any stretch of the imagination, we all learn as we go, and I am always open to prefessional comments, criticisms from my colleagues/trainee customers. You Fatal, need to learn how to professionally communicate your concerns regarding quality of training provided through proper channels, as any TRE would most certainly be capable of doing...instead you choose to rant and rave in a silly fashion here on the internet..which brings into question your professionalism, not mine..let the chips fall where they may:ok:
|
LOOKING FORWARD............we will see who laughs at the end........:ok:
|
Safety and competent training is no laughing matter, and I for one want no part of providing training that is up to standard..I don't percieve you to have a concern for safety and training here Fatal, only some hatred for me, and maybe the others who came across from the 767...if you find it funny, then you have some serious personal and professional issues that need to be dealt with...enjoy yourself...you seem to be alone in your opinion on this forum...not that your specific opinion is of any particular interest to anyone..if you felt you have raised valid concerns then good for you....but hey, then you wouldnt have to hide here on Pprune would you??? I most certainly do not.
|
so far,
capt fatal= arrogance, racism, incompetence, uneducated, rude, unfair, judgemental, dangerous, bully, threat, barbaric, childish, immaturity, unsafe, rash, stupid, self righteous..... anyone care to add? your country, not your personal airline, our lives. |
Gee brassy....dont sugar coat it:}
|
i know, i should really say what i really mean huh.:}
