As an established and valued partner of BAC, the company hosted British Airways management and senior figures in the industry and society, as part of its ongoing strategy of cementing relationships and bolstering partnerships at home and beyond.
Speaking at the dinner, Gordon Dewar, CEO of BAC, said: “We are continuously seeking to build on our already solid relationship with British Airways, and to recognize BA’s contribution to the development of Bahrain which supports the strong relationship the kingdom has have with the UK. We are committed to continue providing the very best support and services to British Airways and all our partners, and I am confident our relationship will go from strength to strength.”
Denise McGregor said: “We are committed to Bahrain and the role played by BAC, and we extend our appreciation for their efforts in providing us with the best services and facilities. Bahrain has always been a very special destination for us, in fact our inaugural Concorde service in 1976 was to Bahrain. We remained in the region throughout the difficult times, which clearly shows our commitment. We welcome the plans for expansion of Bahrain International Airport and are proud to be a part of the journey to raise passenger numbers from 9 million to 13.5 million annually.”
The dinner was also attended by a number of senior officials including Lain Lindsey, British Ambassador to Bahrain and Captain Abdulrahman Al-Gaoud, Undersecretary for Civil Aviation Affairs.
