On this new addition to the airline’s network, Waleed AlAlawi, acting CEO, Gulf Air, commented “It is very exciting for the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain to reach further places and connect multiple cities in the East and the West to its hub in Bahrain. On the western side of our network map, we are delighted to launch flights to Nice on the Cote d'Azur as a boutique destination catering to our premium leisure travellers. As we operate our flights to this popular seasonal destination with our environment-conscious Airbus 321neo aircraft featuring flat-beds and superior in-flight entertainment system; we are confident our passengers will experience more enjoyable journeys with Gulf Air”.

 Gulf Air will be operating its Airbus 321neo aircraft on its new route, with two weekly flights to Nice via Milan.
