Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, and Egyptair, the national carrier of Egypt, have signed a letter of intent for studying co-operation expansion between the two airlines and the initiatives for co-operation in air freight, maintenance, training and frequent flyer programmes. 

 

This co-operation is intended to enhance the networks of the two carriers and the services provided to customers, officials of the two airlines said on Day 2 of the Dubai Airshow 2021.

 

Gulf Air’s Acting CEO Captain Waleed AlAlawi said: “As the region’s leading boutique carrier with a global footprint, Gulf Air is proud to enhance commercial opportunities with our partner, Egyptair. Signing this letter of intent demonstrates our focus to provide our passengers with new destinations, grow our cargo capabilities and enhance customer experience. Likewise, this agreement represents the commercial co-operation that Gulf Air enjoys with Egyptair, that we will look to build on.”

 

Egyptair Holding Company Chairman & CEO Captain Amr Abul El Enein said: “We are glad of this co-operation, as Egyptair and Gulf Air are two of the deep-rooted national airlines in the region backed with great experiences, technical and professional capabilities. This comes at a time of remarkable developments in the aviation industry that requires the partners to cope with the new and developing requirements of the industry and to enhance relations for better services to customers.”
