Gulf Air regrets to announce the closure of routes between Bahrain and Colombo, Dhaka and Kathmandu for commercial reasons. The last date of operations from Bahrain will be; Colombo 10 February 2013, Dhaka 03 March, and Kathmandu 24 March 2013.

Gulf Air recognises the inconvenience this may cause and apologizes to passengers affected by the closures. A dedicated customer services team from the Gulf Air World Wide Contact Centre has been established that will be contacting affected passengers over the next seven days to offer alternate travel options.

Passengers are requested to contact the Gulf Air World Wide Contact Centre on +973 17373737 for any assistance or further information and are kindly requested not to go to the airport directly.

We would like to thank all our customers for their patience and support.
