Bahrain’s national carrier Gulf Air, title sponsor of the 2015 Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix, begins its three-day countdown to this month’s Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, which takes place on April 17, 18 and 19, at the Bahrain International Circuit.

“As Bahrain's global ambassador Gulf Air is once again proud to be the title sponsor of this world-class event and as the national carrier of Bahrain, a key national infrastructure asset and an integral part of the local economy, it is natural for us to be involved in this action-packed weekend of motorsport racing and live entertainment that draws visitors to Bahrain from around the world,” commented Gulf Air Acting CEO Maher Salman Al-Musallam.

Gulf Air will have a dedicated photo-booth tent available for all visitors to have their photo taken with key airline memorabilia and alongside members of Gulf Air’s cabin crew — by a professional photographer — at the event in addition to its own VIP paddock club. Al-Musallam will also present one of the trophies on race day.

It operates direct flights between six Saudi Arabian destinations and Bahrain International Airport — Madinah, Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah and, most recently, Prince Naif Bin Abdulaziz Regional Airport — ELQ, Qassim, and Taif Regional Airport — TIF, Taif.
