Manama: Gulf Air has officially resumed flight operations from Bahrain International Airport, marking a significant step towards restoring aviation activity in the region following recent airspace disruptions. The resumption comes after Bahrain reopened its airspace, which had been temporarily closed due to escalating regional tensions that impacted flight operations across the Gulf. Authorities granted clearance after a comprehensive safety and security review, allowing airlines to gradually restart services. Phased Restart of Operations Gulf Air has begun operating limited scheduled flights as part of a phased recovery plan. The airline is progressively restoring connectivity from its Bahrain hub to key destinations including: Dubai, Jeddah, Riyadh London Heathrow Mumbai, Delhi, Kochi, Hyderabad Islamabad, Lahore, Dhaka, Nairobi This gradual restart reflects a cautious approach, ensuring operational stability while prioritising passenger safety. Recovery After Major Disruptions The airline had earlier suspended operations and temporarily shifted some services to nearby hubs due to airspace closures across the region. The reopening of Bahrain’s skies now enables Gulf Air to re-establish its core network and resume normal hub operations. Passenger Advisory Gulf Air has advised passengers to: Check flight schedules regularly Expect limited capacity and possible delays Stay updated via official channels as services expand Bookings have reopened for select destinations, with more routes and frequencies expected to be restored in phases.
