Gulf Air Goes Paperless in the Cockpit With EFBs
Gulf Air is now using Jeppesen’s FliteDeck Pro electronic flight bags.

Gulf Air recently achieved paperless flight operations by using Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro as its electronic flight bag (EFB) platform. Jeppesen, which is part of Boeing Commercial Aviation Services, provides the Bahrain-based operator’s flight crew with digital navigation and flight information on iPads.

“This is a significant achievement and one that will deliver operational benefits, positive environmental impact and cost savings,” said Captain Nasser Al Salmi, Gulf Air’s chief operating officer. “Equipping Gulf Air’s flying crew with iPad EFBs on-board gives them a paperless way to manage inflight data, further streamlining our operational performance and giving our team greater capabilities and efficiencies. The EFBs help us bring the latest technologies to the cockpit, centralizing information and enhancing our operations.”
