Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, celebrated its inaugural summer service to and from Salalah as the airline resumed this popular route.

Gulf Air’s flight GF548 was welcomed into Salalah International Airport in Oman with a celebratory event that saw the attendance of various airport officials.

Gulf Air’s chief commercial officer Vincent Coste said: “We resume our flights to Salalah as we cater to the summer demand for this sought-after destination. Many of our regional passengers prefer to spend this season in Salalah as it enjoys significantly lower temperature than the rest of the Middle East countries. From now until mid-September, we will be flying three weekly flights.”
