Gulf Air Introduces New Routes to Cairo, Casablanca, and Chennai
In a significant development for travelers, Gulf Air has announced the launch of three additional international routes to its temporary commercial network via King Fahad International Airport in Dammam (DMM). The new destinations, which include Cairo, Casablanca, and Chennai, are set to enhance the airline's connectivity, allowing passengers to travel to these vibrant cities until March 28, 2026. This move comes as part of Gulf Air's strategy to maintain essential international links amid the ongoing temporary closure of Bahrain’s airspace.
These new services will complement Gulf Air's existing operations to major cities such as London Heathrow, Mumbai, Bangkok, Frankfurt, and Nairobi, further solidifying its presence in the international aviation landscape. The airline is committed to ensuring that travelers can continue to access vital routes, thereby supporting the travel needs of both business and leisure passengers.
To facilitate seamless travel for its passengers, Gulf Air is offering ground transportation between Bahrain and Dammam for those holding confirmed bookings on the newly introduced flights. Furthermore, the airline is prepared to assist travelers in obtaining Saudi transit visas specifically for those using Gulf Air's arranged land transportation to transit through Saudi Arabia. It is essential for passengers whose final destination is within Saudi Arabia to secure a valid visa independently prior to their journey.
Individuals interested in booking flights can easily do so through Gulf Air's official website or mobile application. The airline advises travelers to confirm their bookings before proceeding to Dammam for their departure. While flights to and from Bahrain International Airport remain temporarily suspended, Gulf Air is optimistic about resuming regular services as soon as conditions allow.
