Sunday, 26 May, 2022 0

Northwest England connections to the Middle East will be strengthened as direct flights launch between Bahrain and Manchester from 1 June.

It will operate twice a week and served by Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

It provides a choice of economy and business class with return economy fares from £613.

Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, stated operations in 1950, becoming one of the first commercial airlines established in the Middle East.

The airline operates scheduled flights from its Bahrain hub to cities in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Indian sub-continent and the Far East.

The airline currently serves all its destinations with a combination of wide and narrow body fleet of Boeing and Airbus aircraft.

“It’s great news that Gulf Air is starting direct flights from Manchester and I am sure it will be incredibly well received by the thousands of people in our catchment area,” said Ian Costigan, Interim MD at Manchester Airport.

Currently 28,000 people from the catchment area travel indirectly to Bahrain.

A further 2,000,000 people from across the North travel to a range of Gulf Air’s onward destinations that are not currently served by Manchester Airport.
