As part of its new summer schedule, Bahrain’s national carrier Gulf Air will increase its flights to and from Amman, Beirut, Bangkok, Frankfurt, Larnaca and Paris during the upcoming peak summer travel period. These flights will continue to be operated until September. This follows the airline’s recent announcement of its enhanced Istanbul summer schedule, which now offers a choice of up to seven weekly flights during the summer period.
The frequency increase will provide greater choice of flights and enhanced connectivity for passengers travelling across the Gulf Air network with multiple daily flights to Amman, 9 weekly flights to Beirut, daily flights to Bangkok, 8 weekly flights to both Frankfurt and Paris, Charles de Gaulle Airport, and 6 weekly flights to Larnaca.
Gulf Air’s Acting Chief Commercial Officer Ahmed Janahi said: “With the summer holidays upon us, we are seeing an increase in travel demand to some of the airline’s most popular destinations. Our additional flights across the Gulf Air network are meant to strengthen our strategic business and tourism links. These additional frequencies allow greater connectivity for passengers travelling across our extensive network, including key destinations in Europe, the MENA region and Asia, via Bahrain International Airport while facilitating movement to and from Bahrain.”
Serving 43 cities in 24 countries spanning three continents, Gulf Air boasts one of the largest regional networks with multiple daily flights to ten regional cities from its hub at Bahrain International Airport. The national carrier claims to be well-positioned to provide seamless connectivity and two-way movement across its network and through its efficient Bahrain hub.
