The Bahrain-based carrier
was represented by its Chief Executive Officer Martin Gauss, who joined

in an evolving global market. The AGM serves as one of the industry’s key
forums for shaping future aviation policy and collaboration.
On the sidelines of the

platform, an initiative designed to improve the accuracy of airline emissions
calculations using real operational data such as fuel burn, load factors, and
cargo weight.
By joining the platform,
Gulf Air will contribute data to help refine passenger carbon emissions
estimates, supporting greater transparency for travelers and industry
stakeholders. The airline said, the move aligns with broader efforts to improve
sustainability reporting and environmental accountability within aviation.

issues affecting global air transport, including sustainability, operational
efficiency, and market conditions.
