Bahrain's national carrier connecting the world.

Founded
1950
Headquarters
Muharraq, Bahrain
Gulf Air is the national airline of the Kingdom of Bahrain and one of the oldest commercial airlines in the Middle East. Founded in 1950, it has played a pivotal role in connecting Bahrain to destinations across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Arab world. The airline is wholly owned by the Bahraini government and operates out of Bahrain International Airport as its primary hub. Over the decades, Gulf Air has undergone several restructuring efforts to modernize its fleet and improve operational efficiency. Gulf Air has historically served as a shared flag carrier for several Gulf states before each established their own national airlines. Today it focuses on its core network, offering both economy and business class services with a reputation for Arabian hospitality.
