Gulf Air has operated direct flights to Cairo since 1974 and started service to Athens in 1980. Both cities are key in the carrier’s network and are some of the most popular destinations in the North African and Mediterranean regions. Currently, Gulf Air offers return flights to London, Paris, Frankfurt, Manila and Pakistan.
Gulf Air has continued operations over the last three months and is working continuously with government authorities to resume operations as soon as airports reopen.
