Gulf Air - Overview

1About Gulf Air

Gulf Air is the national carrier of Bahrain. It was established in 1950 by a British pilot and later expanded its routes with investment from British Overseas Airways Corporation. In 1974, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman jointly acquired the airline, making it the flagship carrier for the three Gulf nations. Over time, the UAE and Oman established their own national carriers, leaving Gulf Air solely under Bahraini ownership. Operating out of Bahrain International Airport as its hub, Gulf Air has grown from a small regional airline to an international carrier serving 24 countries across three continents and connecting 43 destinations. It is now recognized as a key network operator in the Middle East.

2Family-Friendly Services

Gulf Air offers a complimentary service called Sky Nanny, specifically designed for families traveling with children. Trained crew members provide assistance from the moment of boarding, helping children settle into their seats and coordinating meal times. To make the journey enjoyable, they provide entertainment such as books and coloring materials. They also offer guidance on ear pressure relief during takeoff and landing to ensure a comfortable experience. This thoughtful service demonstrates Gulf Air's commitment to catering to both business travelers and families.
