Manama, Bahrain— Gulf Air and Emirates have announced the start of a codeshare agreement as part of a strategic partnership between the two airlines.

Gulf Air Chief Executive Officer, Captain Waleed Al Alawi welcomed the strategic partnership, noting that it is a major value add to passengers, given the UAE’s prestigious position in the global commercial aviation sector.
