DOHA: Gulf Air will commence scheduled flights to two prominent Chinese destinations starting in May 2024 including Guangzhou, located in southern China and renowned for its culture and vibrant manufacturing sector, and Shanghai, China’s largest city and financial hub.

Both routes will boost connectivity between Bahrain and China, one of the world’s fastest-growing economies and a global tourism market.

Dr. Jeffrey Goh, Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Air Group said, “We are excited by the opportunity to expand our presence in the Asia-Pacific region with new flights connecting Bahrain and the cities of Guangzhou and Shanghai in China.

This move is key to Gulf Air’s strategy of calibrated network growth. These flights will offer greater choice and flexible travel experiences for passengers and create new pipelines for trade, tourism, and collaboration, benefitting both nations.”

In addition to connecting Bahrain and China, these flights will offer increased choices to customers travelling between GCC countries, Africa, Europe, and China, connecting through Bahrain and its new, efficient terminal.
