Gulf Air will increase flights between Bahrain and Kuwait from 40 to 42 flights per week. The carrier’s decision to add frequencies followed an increase in passenger demand between the two countries.

Gulf Air’s acting chief commercial officer, Ahmed Janahi said: “The new two additional frequencies will help to further strengthen our regional network. Our Kuwait-Bahrain route sees consistently high seat factors and in response to growing passenger demand, the introduction of two more weekly flights to Kuwait should reinforce our commitment. We expect to see continuing strong demand on our Kuwait route and will continue to cater to our customer base there.”

The two additional weekly frequencies between Bahrain and Kuwait will operate on Saturdays and Sundays departing Bahrain at 13:15 to arrive into Kuwait International Airport at 14:20 and departing Kuwait at 15:05, arriving in Bahrain International Airport at 16:05.
