'Things are looking good for Gulf Air in 2005 and the airline is virtually unrecognizable to the one I joined just over two years ago,' he said. 'We have worked hard on a wide range of initiatives and programmes not only to change the airline, but also to promote the economic development of the region, most specifically in the development of tourism.

And what a change it has been!'
