About Gulf Air

Gulf Air, established in 1950, is the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain and one of the Middle East's pioneering airlines. Operating from its ultra-modern hub at Bahrain International Airport, the airline has undergone significant transformation in recent years, emerging as a boutique carrier focused on delivering personalized service excellence.

The airline currently operates a modern fleet of 34 aircraft, predominantly consisting of Airbus A320neo, A321neo, and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. This fleet modernization program, completed in 2023, has positioned Gulf Air among the region's most environmentally conscious carriers, with fuel efficiency improvements of up to 15% compared to previous-generation aircraft.

Gulf Air has received numerous accolades, including the World's Most Improved Airline Award at Skytrax 2022 and Five Star Major Airline rating from APEX. The airline maintains strong connectivity to the Indian subcontinent, serving major metropolitan cities with multiple daily frequencies.
