Gulf Air and Bahrain Tourism collaborate to launch Gulf Air holidays

Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, and Bahrain Tourism and Exhibition Authority (BTEA) held a joint press conference at Four Seasons Bahrain Bay to launch Gulf Air Holidays on holidays.gulfair.com, a standalone product which offers Gulf Air’s passengers the opportunity to book a hotel and flight for travel to Bahrain and GCC countries. The event was attended by Gulf Air’s Acting Chief Executive Officer Captain Waleed AlAlawi and Bahrain Tourism and Exhibition Authority Chief Executive Officer Dr. Nasser Qaedi along with officials from both entities and media representatives. At the press conference, Captain Waleed AlAlawi said: “Gulf Air is transitioning towards airline retailing, creating new opportunities to reach out and connect. This has been made possible through adoption of the latest distribution standards and developing solutions. We have developed our website where our customers can book their flights and hotels in one transaction. The first phase of this project is to welcome passengers from the cities we fly to in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Oman to book packages for travel to Bahrain supported by the website’s many features, such as a chat support, dedicated 24/7 contact centre and call support for any changes
