Bahrain’s Gulf Air has expanded its temporary network through King Fahd International Airport in Dammam to include Cairo, Casablanca and Chennai, alongside London Heathrow, Mumbai, Bangkok, Frankfurt and Nairobi. Bookings are available at gulfair.com and through the airline’s app for travel until 28 March 2026.
The airline said it will announce further destinations in the coming days and provide transport between Bahrain and Dammam for passengers with confirmed bookings on these services, according to a post on its X account.
Gulf Air will assist with Saudi transit visas exclusively for passengers travelling to or from Bahrain who use its arranged ground transport. Passengers whose final destination is Saudi Arabia must independently arrange a valid entry visa.
