Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of
Bahrain, has launched flights between Bahrain and Tel Avivs Ben
Gurion Airport in Israel.
The airline will operate two flights per week
between the two cities, deploying the Gulf Airs newest Airbus
aircraft.
Captain Waleed AlAlawi, Gulf Airs Acting Chief
Executive Officer, said, We are making history by connecting the
Kingdom of Bahrain and the State of Israel with scheduled
commercial flights. We welcome our friends in Israel to fly on
Gulf Air and visit Bahrain and fly beyond to our extended network.
The double weekly flights are just the start and
we will periodically assess the commercial performance to upgrade
frequencies whenever feasible and required. I thank all the
authorities here in Israel for making this inaugural flight as
smooth as possible and for all the assistance offered to celebrate
this special flight.
In December 2020, Gulf Air signed five commercial
agreements with five different Israeli aviation-related companies:
a comprehensive MOU for a potential joint codeshare and commercial
cooperation with El Al; a general sales agent agreement with TAL
Aviation; a line maintenance agreement with Israel Aerospace
Industries (IAI) Aviation Group; a ground handling agreement with
Q.A.S. Israel Ltd; and an agreement with Newrest Israel for
on-board catering.
