The announcement was made at the Bahrain-China Investment Forum, a platform hosted by the Economic Development Board of Bahrain, and led by H.E. Abdulla bin Adel Fakhro, Minister of Industry and Commerce.
With the introduction of flights to Guangzhou and Shanghai, Gulf Air is set to fortify the longstanding bilateral trade and tourism relations that span over three decades. The flight schedule has been meticulously designed to facilitate seamless connections between China and Gulf Air’s extensive network in the Middle East and Europe, offering passengers optimal convenience.
