Gulf Air said it will be extending its operations into China in January 2024. The expansion plans into China were revealed at the Bahrain-China Investment Forum hosted by the Economic Development Board of Bahrain.

The Forum was part of a special delegation to the country led by Abdulla bin Adel Fakhro, Minister of Industry and Commerce.

"We are excited by the opportunity to expand our presence in the Asia-Pacific region with new flights connecting Bahrain and the cities of Guangzhou and Shanghai in China," said Dr. Jeffrey Goh, Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Air Group Holding.

"China is one of the world's fastest-growing economies and a global tourism market. It is key to our strategy of calibrated network growth.

These flights will offer greater choice and flexible travel experiences for passengers and create new pipelines for trade, tourism and collaboration, benefitting both nations.”

The flights will be operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliner and two cabins of service, a business class cabin featuring one of the most spacious premium seats and an economy class cabin with state-of-the-industry seats.
