Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, announces the two weekly flights to Alexandria and Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt beginning 30 June until 25 September.
Both seasonal destinations will be served by the airline’s new Airbus A321neoLR.
The seasonal summer routes to Egypt will boost the airline’s network with popular seaside destinations that are favourite to many tourists and families in the Kingdom of Bahrain and the region, especially, as demand for travel gradually grows towards the summer holidays with travel restrictions easing off.
“We are proudly watching our network grow further with the addition of new destinations and welcoming back routes to cater to the summer traffic,” Captain Waleed Abdulhameed AlAlawi, Acting Chief Executive Officer at Gulf Air said. “Our passengers have been through this journey with us as we navigated 2020 as one of the few airlines flying at the peak of the pandemic”.
He said Gulf Air was one of the first airlines in the world to have vaccinated 100 percent of their crew, provided all their passengers complimentary COVID-19 insurance as well as to have initiated the IATA Travel Pass which they launched on their flights to London, Athens, and Singapore.
In line with the airline’s strategy, Mykonos and Santorini have been added as boutique summer destinations from June until end of September as well as resuming flights to Larnaca starting from 15 June and Malaga in Spain starting from 25 June.
