This approach will give the airline a competitive advantage that will translate in its new fleet, new Falcon Gold class offering, new exclusive products, new destinations for 2019 and its presence in the new terminal at Bahrain International Airport, due to open towards the end of the year.
With the new business model concept, Gulf Air aims to grow strategically in size, expand to more boutique destinations in 2019 and continue its fleet modernisation programme by receiving two additional Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and four Airbus A320neos this year.
