Gulf Air Company Description
Gulf Air helps travelers from around the world find their way to the Persian Gulf, or, more precisely, to Bahrain. From its hub at Bahrain International Airport in Manama, the carrier serves more than 40 cities in more than 30 countries worldwide with a fleet of about 30 jet aircraft, mostly Airbus A320s and A330s. It serves additional destinations via code-sharing, a common industry practice in which carriers sell tickets on one another's flights and thus extend their networks. An affiliate provides air cargo transportation services. Gulf Air, which is owned by the government of Bahrain, began operations in 1950.
