Gulf Air has expanded its temporary network through King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, to include Frankfurt and Nairobi, alongside London Heathrow, Mumbai and Bangkok. Bookings are available on the airline’s website and 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 flights, according to a post on its X account.
It will assist with Saudi transit visas exclusively for passengers travelling to or from Bahrain who use Gulf Air’s arranged ground transport. Passengers whose final destination is Saudi Arabia must independently arrange a valid entry visa.
