Gulf Air is increasing flights to Islamic Republic of Pakistan from Bahrain by 30% from 14 to 21 flights per week to accommodate increasing passenger demand. The approval to operate greater number of flights follows a successful conclusion of negotiations last month between the Kingdom of Bahrain‘s Ministry of Transportation and Civil Aviation Authority and Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority , to increase air traffic rights between two countries.
Gulf Air’s new schedule to Pakistan is effective from 16th December 2013 and will see an increase in weekly flights to all four destinations that the airline currently operates which include Karachi from seven to ten, Islamabad from two to three, Lahore from three to four and Peshawar from two to four. The additional frequencies, part of airline’s winter schedule , will provide passengers with excellent two-way connectivity to and from Pakistan through Gulf Air’s efficient Bahrain hub with onward connections to over 11 destinations across the airline’s network in GCC, Middle East and Europe including Frankfurt, London, Paris, Amman, Dubai and three destinations in Saudi Arabia: Dammam, Medina and Jeddah.
In the words of Mr. Ahmed Janahi, Gulf Air’s Acting Chief Commercial Officer, Pakistan is a key longstanding market for Gulf Air. The airline operates one of the largest networks in the region and as such presents a unique advantage for Pakistani customers to reach the Middle East and North African Markets with seamless connection via Bahrain. Increasing flights to Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar in Pakistan demonstrates the forward-looking emphasis of Gulf Air as it continues to implement its restructuring strategy.
Gulf Air has strong presence in Pakistan since its first flight in 1972.
