Gulf Air (GF, Bahrain) will offer a twice weekly Kuwait to Larnaca, Cyprus service effective October 26. The Bahraini carrier said in a statement that the route’s launch was in response to increased demand from Kuwait. At present, the route is not serviced by any carriers.

Last week, Gulf Air also announced it would open a 2x weekly Kuwait to Istanbul Atatürk service with effect from October 2.

“Gulf Air’s latest development sees us building upon the positive response we have already seen to our Kuwait-Istanbul route as we strive to give our GCC passengers attractive connections and direct travel options,” Gulf Air acting CEO Maher Salman AlMusallam said. “Launching the new, direct Kuwait-Larnaca route caters to travel demand and is one more step towards offering our passengers simpler travel arrangements while we continue to offer convenient connections between Bahrain and Kuwait.”
