Gulf Air will connect Málaga with Bahrain this summer

This summer, Gulf Air will resume its direct flight from Malaga to Bahrain. The company has announced that it will start operating this route on the upcoming June 17 and will keep it active until September 25. "This connection offers a convenient and efficient option for both business and leisure travel, with excellent connections to the Persian Gulf, the Indian Ocean, and Asia," the airline explained.

Gulf Air, founded in 1950 and the national airline of the Kingdom of Bahrain, will operate two flights a week from Malaga airport. Specifically, flights will depart every Thursday and Saturday at 13:40, arriving in Bahrain seven hours and fifteen minutes later.

The company, which flies to more than 50 destinations in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East from its hub at Bahrain Airport, has already put the flights it will operate with an A321neo aircraft on sale.

It is worth remembering that Gulf Air launched in Spain with a direct flight between Malaga and Bahrain in June 2019, operating with two frequencies a week during the high season after noting at that time that "after exhaustive studies of potential routes and expansion plans for our destination network, Malaga has been chosen for its appeal as a 'premium' holiday destination and also as a popular destination among our customers in Bahrain and the Gulf countries." It was in 2023 and 2024 when the company deployed its largest operations with three frequencies a week: on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
