Representatives of Gulf Air Cargo have attended a two-day annual conference in Bahrain where they formulated strategies for the coming year.

Over 90 members of Gulf Air's cargo marketing and sales team converged in Bahrain for the meeting.

As part of the company's ongoing restructuring programmes, top management met with worldwide cargo representatives to analyse past performance and build the foundations for the future.

Topics of discussion at the conference included changes in policy resulting from the implementation of a new network and preparations for Bahrain becoming Gulf Air's hub. The meeting also touched on issues related to the IATA e-freight programme.

Key speakers included David Marton, general manager of DHL Express in Bahrain, in addition to partners from the Bahrain Civil Aviation Authority and the Bahrain Airport Services (BAS).

The conference also included regional workshops where employees from individual stations had a chance to discuss 2007 revenue targets and the support required from headquarters to achieve desired results, a statement said.
