All passengers and Bahrainis in Najaf can contact their travel agencies, local Gulf Air office or Gulf Air’s contact centre for any further information.
 
‎‏"Gulf Air continues to monitor the situation in Iraq very closely. The safety of passengers and its crew remains the airline’s utmost priority," said a statement issued by the company.
