Gulf Air supports Dreams Society with children’s initiative

Manama, May 21 (BNA): Gulf Air, Bahrain’s national carrier, has partnered with Dreams Society, a non-profit organisation to fulfill the dreams of children affected with terminal illnesses and debilitating diseases. A number of young children and their parents visited the airline’s headquarters, met Gulf Air Chief Executive Officer Krešimir Kučko and Gulf Air Deputy Chief Executive Officer Captain Waleed Abdul Hameed Al Alawi, along other members of the airline’s executive management team and members of Dreams Society's Board of Directors. The guests were then taken on an exclusive guided tour of a Gulf Air aircraft where Senior Captain Mohammed Felaifel introduced them to different flight concepts, while each child took turns to experience the cockpit. Aircraft Maintenance Supervisor Eman Hameed Mandeel discussed various technical aspects of flight and the airline’s onboard crew entertained the children, distributing gifts and meals to all. “As the national carrier of Bahrain and an integral national infrastructure asset Gulf Air prides itself on having a special connection with the Bahraini community," Kučko said. "We are honoured to have collaborated with Dreams Society and played a part in making these young children’s dreams come true. At Gulf Air, we take our responsibility towards the greater community very seriously and we were both privileged and humbled to welcome our young guests. We hope that this event helped spread joy and fun in all.” Aysha Fakhro, Vice Chairman of Dreams Society thanked "all those who contributed to making this event a memorable experience for Dreams Society's children.” Gulf Air has supported Dreams Society in the past with complimentary tickets to the Bahrain Grand Prix – giving children the opportunity to attend and enjoy the key motorsport and racing event.
