Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, has boosted frequencies to popular destinations in line with the increasing demand and the relaxed travel restrictions in many countries around the globe. 

 

Gulf Air destinations have seen an increase in frequency with the growth of passenger numbers in the current quarter ahead of the holiday season. 

 

The airline is also participating at the Dubai Airshow 2021 which is taking place from November 14 to 18 at Dubai World Central (DWC). During the airshow, Gulf Air will be showcasing its flagship Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and its state-of-the-art cabins in its 70th anniversary livery.

 

The airline has increased frequencies to: Amman (double daily), Frankfurt (daily), Paris (daily), Casablanca, (3 weekly), Singapore (3 weekly), Bangkok (5 weekly), Istanbul (10 weekly), Dubai (49 weekly), Pakistan (35 weekly), Manila (9 weekly).

 

Acting CEO Captain Waleed AlAlawi said: “We’re getting closer to full restoration of our network. Although frequencies are lower than pre-pandemic levels, however it is important for us to bring back our network and offer our passengers more choices of more destinations. Frequencies are regularly reviewed and increased based on network optimisation, forecast, demand and entry restrictions.”

 

An executive delegation from Gulf Air will be representing the airline during the airshow and lead a number of networking initiatives and meeting opportunities with partnerships and potential customers and suppliers.

 

The only live and in-person aerospace event taking place in 2021, the Dubai Airshow will feature more than 1,200 exhibitors, representatives from 148 countries, more than 80 start-ups, decision makers in attendance and over 20 country pavilions. 

 

The event will also feature a static display park & flying display activities which will include the world’s most advanced aircraft on ground and in air. Including Gulf Air’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, over 160 aircraft will be on display from international aerospace leaders.

 

AlAlawi added: “Gulf Air’s participation at the Dubai Airshow 2021 is important to showcase Bahrain and its national carrier including our new fleet and our boutique products and services in a leading and international aerospace event. 

 

"Along with the Bahraini delegation that is represented by the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunication, Civil Aviation Affairs, Bahrain Airport Services and Hala Bahrain, Gulf Air will benefit from this platform to network with key industry players with the goal to elevate its role in the aviation industry regionally and globally.”-TradeArabia News Service
