Today Gulf Air, the national airline of the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Sultanate of
Oman and Emirate of Abu Dhabi, launched its daily service from Dubai to London
Heathrow.
"Due to the increasing demand for flights from Dubai, Gulf Air is expanding its
network to meet customer needs," said James Hogan, President and Chief Executive at Gulf Air. "The addition of the daily, flight from Dubai means that
travellers between the UAE and UK now have even more choices with Gulf Air -
making us the carrier with the greatest frequency of flights to the region out of
Heathrow." The daily Dubai flights are in addition to the twice-daily flights from Abu Dhabi To
London Heathrow.
Flights will depart Dubai International Airport at 11:30 arriving at London
Heathrow at 17:55 after a 30-minute layover in Bahrain. For the return leg, the flight leaves London at 20:00 and arrives in
Dubai at 9:40 the next morning.
Customers from Dubai will travel to London in the comfort of one of Gulf Air's
luxurious ultra-long haul Airbus A340 aircraft. Onboard services include the airline's five star in-flight
chef service in the First Class cabin, the equivalent of a first class menu for
Business Class passengers, and the Sky Nanny in all cabins.
"London is one of Europe's most popular destinations and this new service at
Dubai International Airport is just in time for the peak summer period," added Mr.
Hogan. "This is another example of how Gulf Air is better serving its customers by
getting them where they want to go, when they want to go." |
