Gulf Air’s new schedule to Cairo, effective from 23rd of July, will see additional flights between Manama and the Egyptian capital. With one of the largest Middle East networks, Bahrain’s national carrier is well positioned to link Cairo to several key destinations in the region with excellent connectivity via Bahrain to prominent cities in the Gulf, the Indian Sub-continent and the Far East such as Dubai, UAE, Bangkok, Thailand and Delhi, India in less than two hours.

Gulf Air’s Acting Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Ahmed Janahi said: “Gulf Air has held longstanding ties with the Arab Republic of Egypt since we became one of the first Gulf carriers to land in Cairo in 1972. We are always looking to satisfy the high demand on this route and cater to passenger needs and now, with the summer and Eid holidays fast approaching, our passengers can benefit from the additional connection and schedule flexibility to spend the holidays with their families and loved ones.”

Flights to Cairo will increase from 10 to 12 weekly flights, adding an additional frequency on Wednesdays and Sundays departing Bahrain at 17:15 local time.
