Sobre Gulf Air

Gulf Air is the national flag carrier of Bahrain and is headquartered in Muharraq with its main hub airport at Bahrain International Airport. The airline flies to many destinations over 30 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

The airline is one of the oldest carriers in the Middle East, with its history dating back to the 1940s, with an air taxi service between Doha and Dhahran. This air taxi service was registered in 1950 under the name Gulf Aviation Company Limited, with major stakeholders including British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC). In 1974, the governments of Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Oman each gained a 25% share in Gulf Aviation, where it was soon rebranded to Gulf Air. In 2002, however, Qatar announced that they would be withdrawing from Gulf Air to focus on its own flag carrier, Qatar Airways. Abu Dhabi did the same in 2005, announcing their focus on Etihad Airways, with Oman withdrawing in 2007, leaving Bahrain to claim full ownership of the airline.

Gulf Air volará a América del Norte en los próximos 5 años.

Gulf Air está considerando la posibilidad de volar a varios destinos en América del Norte en 2023 como parte de un plan más amplio para extender su red a más países alrededor del mundo. Recientemente, el Director Ejecutivo de Gulf Air, Waleed Abdul Hamid Al Alawi, el Director Ejecutivo Adjunto Krishmir Kuchko y el Embajador de los Estados Unidos en Bahrein se reunieron para hablar sobre la expansión a Norteamérica.

Gulf Air ya comparte vuelos con American Airlines para conectar Europa con las ciudades de América del Norte, y las ciudades de Norteamérica con Bahrein, pero los vuelos en 2023 verían a Gulf Air operando los vuelos por su cuenta. Las ciudades a las que Gulf Air volaría aún no están decididas, pero es probable que sean ciudades con grandes aeropuertos internacionales que puedan actuar como posibles puertas de entrada a otros destinos en el área.
