Gulf Air increases direct Cairo service

Gulf Air will increase its flights between Bahrain and Cairo from 12 to 14 weekly flights (double daily) from 24th August to meet high passenger demand following successful negotiations between the Kingdom of Bahrain's Civil Aviation Authority and the Arab Republic of Egypt's Civil Aviation Authority, to increase air traffic rights between the two countries.

Gulf Air’s Acting chief commercial officer, Ahmed Janahi said: “Gulf Air’s increased Cairo service will mean a greater connection to one of our national carrier’s longstanding routes. We are always looking to satisfy the high demand to and from Cairo and cater to passenger needs on this popular route.
