Gulf Air boosts regional network

Bahrain’s national carrier Gulf Air has boosted its regional network this month by increasing the airline’s Saudi Arabian service to operate four daily flights between Bahrain International Airport and King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah from February 22.

Earlier this month, the airline supplemented its existing Kuwait service and began operating six daily flights between Bahrain International Airport and Kuwait International Airport.

“The enhanced Gulf Air services give travellers a greater selection of morning, afternoon and evening flights,” said Gulf Air A/Chief Commercial Officer Ahmed Janahi. “This supplements our current schedules with complementary flight times that not only

satisfy passenger need for more choice and flexibility, but also create improved connections for those passengers connecting to Gulf Air’s network of onwards destinations across the globe.”

Gulf Air operates one of the largest networks in the Middle East, in addition to select destinations in the Indian Subcontinent and Europe, from its hub at Bahrain International Airport.

Currently, the airline boasts a network that serves 43 cities in 24 countries spanning three continents.
