Gulf Air, Bahrain’s national carrier, has planned to increase its Qassim service from April 24.

Service to Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz Regional Airport, which was launched in January 2015, will be served with daily flights.

This is the airline’s third Saudi destination to witness a frequency boost over the past three months.

Gulf Air increased its Riyadh service in March to 32 weekly flights while its Jeddah service was increased to a total of 4 daily flights earlier in February.

“Following on from recent increases to other Saudi destinations, Gulf Air’s most recent schedule enhancement to Qassim not only helps us further satisfy passenger need but also creates improved connections for those passengers connecting to and from Gulf Air’s network of onward destinations across the globe,” said Gulf Air A/Chief Commercial Officer Ahmed Janahi.

“By focusing on this critical market, we are working to provide superior travel solutions that cater to the travel needs of our Saudi passengers and their growing travel needs,” he added.

Gulf Air operates one of the largest networks in the Middle East, with double daily flights or more to 10 regional cities, in addition to select destinations in the Indian Subcontinent and Europe, from its hub at Bahrain International Airport. The airline currently boasts a network that serves 39 cities in 22 countries spanning three continents.
