Bahrain's national carrier connecting the Gulf to the world.

Founded
1950
Headquarters
Muharraq, Bahrain
Gulf Air is the national airline of the Kingdom of Bahrain and one of the oldest commercial airlines in the Middle East. Founded in 1950, it has grown from a small regional operator into an international carrier serving destinations across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The airline operates out of its primary hub at Bahrain International Airport and is wholly owned by the Bahraini government. Gulf Air has undergone several restructuring efforts over the decades, including the withdrawal of Abu Dhabi, Oman, and Qatar as co-owners in the early 2000s, leaving Bahrain as the sole shareholder. Gulf Air has historically been known for its hospitality and Bahraini cultural identity, and it continues to position itself as a premium regional carrier while expanding its network and modernizing its fleet.
Hubs & network
Gulf Air's primary hub is Bahrain International Airport (BAH) in Muharraq, Bahrain.
Fleet
Gulf Air operates a fleet primarily composed of Airbus A320 family aircraft and Boeing 787 Dreamliners for medium- and long-haul routes.
