The duty free "SHOP" brochure is being launched at an appropriate time; just a week after Gulf Air introduced a new completely revamped network. The new schedule has been prepared, keeping in mind the time-conscious business traveller, who wants to fly out and return on the same day and, other passengers, who want great connecting flights to other destinations.

"Gulf Air is entering a new era of change and in this latest edition we present a fresh, new look shopping magazine full of luxury brands and innovation at unbeatable prices. We all love to shop and doing it at 35,000ft is an extra thrill," says Gulf Air Executive Vice President Marketing and Sales, Lee Shave.

The magazine has undergone a dramatic transformation in design and presentation giving a contemporary feel and a greater impact. The inflight duty free catalog complements the newly launched onboard Gulf Life and On Air publication.

The brochure showcases world's premier fragrance houses including, Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Issey Miyaki, Giorgio Armani, Burberry, Calvin Klein and Dunhill to name but a few from a cast range of international brands.

Within the magazine there are also 18 regional and world exclusives, including contemporary time pieces from Zeades of Monte Carlo and classic designs from Tommy Hilfiger.
Frequent flyer members will continue to be rewarded with miles on their onboard duty free purchases of over USD100.

"We want our passengers to enjoy their travel with us and, with our constant efforts to innovate and improve our services we are confident they will have a delightful onboard shopping and travel experience," Mr. Shave concludes.
