Gulf Air to Increase Bahrain - Cairo Flights

Gulf Air will increase flights between Bahrain and Cairo from 10 to 12 flights per week, effective 23 July 2014.

The increase follows successful negotiations between the Kingdom of Bahrain’s Civil Aviation Authority and Arab Republic of Egypt’s Civil Aviation Authority to increase air traffic rights between the two countries.

Flights to Cairo will increase from 10 to 12 weekly flights, adding an additional frequency on Wednesdays and Sundays departing Bahrain at 17:15 local time.

Gulf Air’s Acting Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Ahmed Janahi said, “Gulf Air has held longstanding ties with the Arab Republic of Egypt since we became one of the first Gulf carriers to land in Cairo in 1972. We are always looking to satisfy the high demand on this route and cater to passenger needs and now, with the summer and Eid holidays fast approaching, our passengers can benefit from the additional connection and schedule flexibility to spend the holidays with their families and loved ones.”
