Gulf Air is the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain and one of the Middle East’s most established airlines, known for its rich heritage and commitment to authentic Arabian hospitality. Founded in 1950, Gulf Air was among the first commercial airlines in the region, helping to pioneer air travel across the Gulf long before the modern aviation boom. Headquartered in Muharraq, its main operations hub is Bahrain International Airport, serving as a strategic gateway between East and West.

The airline operates a modern fleet of Airbus A320neo, A321neo, and Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, connecting Bahrain to destinations across the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Gulf Air is renowned for blending contemporary comfort with traditional warmth, offering travelers a seamless experience through its Falcon Gold (Business Class) and Economy Class cabins. Each flight showcases Bahraini culture—from locally inspired cuisine to personalized service that reflects the country’s hospitality.

Frequent travelers can join FalconFlyer, the airline’s loyalty program, which rewards members with miles redeemable for flights, upgrades, and lifestyle privileges. Gulf Air also partners with various international airlines, providing extended connectivity and flexibility for global travelers.

In recent years, Gulf Air has focused heavily on modernization—introducing new aircraft, enhancing its digital experience, and emphasizing sustainability through fuel-efficient operations. Despite strong competition in the region, it continues to maintain a distinct identity rooted in reliability, service quality, and cultural authenticity.

Representing Bahrain on the global stage, Gulf Air stands as a symbol of timeless elegance and innovation—bridging tradition with modern aviation excellence.
