Muharraq: Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, has added two new international destinations including Frankfurt (FRA) and Nairobi (NBO) fit for travel from 23rd to 28th of March through airline’s temporary commercial network via King Fahad International Airport in Dammam (DMM). The airline has said that more destinations are to be announced in the coming days.
The two new services complementing the airline’s existing operations to London Heathrow (LHR), Mumbai (BOM), and Bangkok (BKK). This initiative forms part of Gulf Air’s ongoing efforts to maintain international connectivity to and from the Kingdom of Bahrain amid the temporary closure of Bahrain’s airspace.
To facilitate travel, Gulf Air will provide transportation between the Kingdom of Bahrain and King Fahad International Airport in Dammam for passengers holding confirmed bookings on these flights.
Gulf Air will assist with Saudi transit visas exclusively to passengers travelling to and from the Kingdom of Bahrain using Gulf Air–arranged land transportation. Passengers whose destination is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia must hold a valid visa arranged independently.
Passengers can book their flights through Gulf Air’s website at gulfair.com or via the mobile app. Passengers are advised to ensure they make a confirmed booking prior to proceeding to Dammam for departure. Flights to and from Bahrain International Airport remain suspended, and Gulf Air will resume regular scheduled services once the Bahrain Civil Aviation Affairs confirms the safe reopening of the Kingdom’s airspace
