Bahrain's national carrier is planning to expand its flight network to India, a top official confirmed yesterday.
Negotiations are already underway with the Indian government to seek the rights to operate services to several new destinations, said Gulf Air chief executive Samer Majali.
"We are looking at other destinations in addition to the large airports we already fly to," he told the GDN.
The airline is hoping to introduce the new services next year and the news comes only a day after it announced the launch of services to three cities in Saudi Arabia - Gassim, Yanbu and Taif. Gulf Air already flies to Dammam, Jeddah, Riyadh and Medina.
Services to Taif will begin from January 15, with four flights per week, to Gassim on January 17, with three per week, and to Yanbu from February 15, also with three per week.
"The expansion into these three cities is in line with our strategy to invest heavily in the regional markets and come out strongly as a major regional player," said Mr Majali.
