Gulf Air begins services to Kabul

At the gate ceremony held at Bahrain International Airport, Gulf Air Chief Executive Officer Mr. Samer Majali, Deputy CEO Capt. Maher Al Musallam, senior officials from Bahrain Civil Aviation Authority, Bahrain Airport Company and Gulf Air executives greeted passengers onboard the first flight.

Addressing the media, VIP gathering and passengers in Bahrain, Mr. Majali said, “We are pleased to see our first service to Afghanistan, which we announced this March, taking off today as planned following the completion of extensive safety and security audits. This reinforces the airline’s leadership position once again as we become the first ‘full-service’ scheduled commercial carrier in the Middle East to connect to Afghanistan.”

“The launching of our service to Kabul further demonstrates our strategy to connect the Kingdom of Bahrain with niche and under-served markets in the region that have high growth potential.”

With four flights per week, Kabul will be served by an Airbus A320 aircraft offering 16 Falcon Gold seats and 120 Economy class seats.
