More seat capacity has been made available by Gulf Air to several popular destinations.
"Summer, as every one knows, is always the peak season of the year with the highest number of nationals travelling to popular tourist destinations and expatriates going home on their annual vacations in addition to our regular travellers and frequent flyers," says Gulf Air Vice President Marketing and Sales Lee Shave.
"However for those, who could not get seats in May and June and who were unable to travel due to work, or other personal reasons, we managed to create additional capacity on some of our busiest routes with some strategic maneuvering of our fleet.

A limited number of seats are currently available on routes from Bahrain, Dammam, Muscat, the UAE and Kuwait, which are going very fast. From these points customers can fly to several popular summer destinations as well as to multiple and convenient onward connections destinations such as Athens, Beirut, Doha, Dubai, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Salalah and Tehran.
