Gulf Air and bmi have concluded an expanded codeshare agreement. For the first time, the British carrier will place its code on
Gulf Air operated flights between London Heathrow and Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Muscat.
The expansion, which comes into effect on 31 October this year, extends the existing codeshare arrangement whereby Gulf Air
places its marketing code on bmi flights operating to ten destinations – namely between London Heathrow and Manchester,
Edinburgh, Belfast, Glasgow, Teesside, Leeds Bradford, Aberdeen, Dublin, Brussels and Amsterdam.
"This agreement will allow passengers holding tickets of either airline to travel on the flights of the other carrier and will facilitate
an increased choice and service offering for premium passengers and the general public," said Fareed Al Alawi, Vice President
Network at Gulf Air. "It means that bmi passengers will be able to travel seamlessly to and from the Gulf from anywhere on the
bmi network by using Gulf Air's extensive operations from the Gulf into London."
"It is also worth noting that this is the first time that an international European airline will place its code on Gulf Air operated
services to the Gulf," he added.
