Gulf Air, Bahrain’s national carrier, participated in the recent Saudi Aramco Travel Fair, which was held at Saudi Aramco's worldwide headquarters in Dhahran between Feb. 28 and March 3.

Alongside over 50 travel and hospitality exhibitors, Bahrain’s national carrier showcased and promoted some of the airline’s key products and services, its attractive flight schedule to/from five destinations in Saudi Arabia, and its flexible and convenient travel proposition.

Gulf Air A/Chief Commercial Officer Ahmed Janahi said: "Participating in the Saudi Aramco Travel Fair offers us an ideal opportunity to showcase the distinctive Gulf Air offering to the Saudi Aramco team. Saudi Arabia is one of our key markets in which we have had a strong presence dating back to 1950, when Gulf Air launched its Dammam operations. Events such as these allow us to further consolidate our position in the market.”

Gulf Air operates one of the largest networks in the Middle East, with direct flights to five destinations within the Kingdom: Madinah, Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah and Qassim, and 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 recently announced an increase in its Riyadh service, taking the airline’s weekly flights between Bahrain International Airport and King Khaled International Airport in Riyadh, from 28 to a total of 32. This supplements a recent permanent increase in the carrier’s Jeddah service, to a total of four daily flights.

Gulf Air currently boasts a network that serves 43 cities in 24 countries spanning three continents.
