Flying the flag
On 6 November last year Gulf Air became wholly Bahraini-owned for the first time in the airline’s lengthy history
Gulf Air prides itself on being the national carrier of Bahrain with a new management and more well-qualified Bahrainis on board in senior positions. The airline is firmly aligning itself with the dynamic growth plans of the Kingdom. At the same time, the regional, geographic and cultural values that the airline has embraced over more than half a century are still central in defining the brand and service ethos.
Today our network stretches from Europe to Asia, covering 40 cities in 26 countries. The fleet comprises 30 aircraft. We possess the strongest network across the Middle East offering as many as 588 regional flights every week.
The passion for innovation and quality service for which Gulf Air earned its reputation in the 1970s and ’80s continues; in recent years Gulf Air has won international recognition for its groundbreaking Sky Nannies, Sky Chefs and Sky Beds.
Gulf Air is an integral part of the heritage and history of the Kingdom of Bahrain. The Golden Falcon has become a national icon representing the traditional and legendary Arabian hospitality, complemented by modern, state-ofthe-art flying experience.
Quicker, cheaper, better
Online booking for Gulf Air flights, hotel accommodation and car hire has never been so easy
When Gulf Air set about redesigning its online booking engine the first thing the team did was listen to what you, the passengers, wanted. Make it faster, easier to use, convenient and even more secure came the answers. And that’s exactly what we’ve delivered.
Special web-only fares mean that when you search for a route within the Gulf Air network, you will always find our best price online. Visual alerts and calendars enable you to track prices and availability up to 30 days in advance.
When you decide on the flights you want, you’ll find that our new six-step process makes it so easy to book – particularly since we’ve increased payment options, adding Maestro and UATP to our list of accepted credit and debit cards. Most importantly, the introduction of 3-D Secure means that you can rest assured that your payment details are always protected.
However, we are more open in the areas you want us to be. More transparent fare rules, more accessibility for disabled users and more countries from where you can book your flights – Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, UK, France, Germany, Greece, and now Saudi Arabia, Thailand and the USA. We will continue to expand this service and keep you informed of the opportunities. All of these new changes will help make your online experience as simple and straightforward as possible.
And once you’ve booked your flights, you can also book your hotel and car hire online. Simply select your destination and dates of travel, choose your preferred hotel from our many famous hotel chains, pay online and then we’ll send you a confirmation email. You can also use the same process for car hire.
