Gulf Air has announced plans to launch flights to China with two new routes to Guangzhou and Shanghai later this month.
From May 28, Gulf Air will start operating four weekly flights from Bahrain to Shanghai-Pudong, followed by three weekly flights to Guangzhou-Baiyun the next day (May 29). The airline will deploy its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft on both routes.
According to Gulf Air, the two new routes will boost connectivity between Bahrain and China. The flights will also increase choices to customers traveling between the GCC countries, Africa, Europe, and China via Bahrain.
“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,” said Jeffrey Goh, CEO, Gulf Air Group. “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.”
With the addition of Guangzhou and Shanghai, Gulf Air's network will cover 47 destinations. In Asia, Gulf Air currently offers flights to Manila, Bangkok, and Singapore.
