Gulf Air re-launches flights to SL

 
Gulf Air has announced the re-launch of flights to Colombo. This will begin from October 5 with five flights per week.

“Colombo is not new for Gulf Air as we used to fly as far back as 1976 and until March 2005, and I am glad the time has come for us to re-connect with the capital of Sri Lanka," said Gulf Air Chief Samer Majali.

Besides being the country’s largest base for commerce and trade, Colombo is also a popular tourist destination with its fabulous beaches and cultural attractions, he said.

Samer Majali also said that the re-commencement of service to Colombo will be great news for the thousands of Sri Lankan residents in Bahrain as they now have a direct and non-stop service to their country.

“We believe there is a strong commercial potential in this city and we hope this route will be successful like the other six routes that we recently launched,” he added.
