Gulf Air, the national airline of Bahrain, has announced an extension of its temporary flight operations through King Fahad International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. This move allows passengers to book flights for travel until 22 March 2026, as Bahrain's airspace remains temporarily closed. The initiative underscores Gulf Air's commitment to maintaining connectivity for the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Passengers can secure bookings through Gulf Air's website or mobile app for flights operating on routes between Dammam and major destinations such as London Heathrow, Mumbai, and Bangkok. To ease travel, Gulf Air is assisting passengers with Saudi transit visas. Those travelling directly to Saudi Arabia must independently arrange a valid entry visa.
Additionally, Gulf Air is providing transportation between Bahrain and Dammam for passengers with confirmed bookings. The airline advises passengers to ensure they have a confirmed booking before heading to Dammam for departure.
Whilst flights to and from Bahrain International Airport remain suspended, Gulf Air will resume regular services once the Bahrain Civil Aviation Affairs confirms the reopening of the airspace. Passengers are encouraged to check Gulf Air's website or mobile app for the latest updates and booking information
