This is the second iTECH Award recognition garnered by Gulf Air. The airline was recently honoured for the third consecutive year at the sixth edition of the ICT conference MEET ICT and the Bahrain International Technology Exhibition (BITEX) – held in Bahrain earlier in January. Gulf Air recently won Computer News Middle East’s (CNME) annual prestigious CIO 100 Award for the 4th consecutive year becoming the first organisation and first airline in the Middle East to do so.

Gulf Air’s IT achievements include being the first organisation in Bahrain to implement Private Cloud Computing in its IT operations and thereby introduced numerous innovations and improvements in its IT function.
