MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

Thai Airways International Public Company Limited (THAI) and Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, are to expand their longstanding partnership to enhance connectivity and offer passengers a wider range of travel options across their combined networks.

Under the expanded agreement, THAI will provide codeshare services for roundtrip flights from Bangkok to Cairo, Kuwait City, Amman, Casablanca, Athens, and Manchester, operated by Gulf Air via connecting flights from Bahrain.

In return, Gulf Air will offer its passengers seamless connectivity onboard codeshare roundtrip flights from Bangkok to Chiang Rai, Udon Thani, Ubon Ratchathani, Khon Kaen, Krabi, Hat Yai, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Denpasar, and Sydney.  

This partnership reinforces THAI and Gulf Air's commitment to strengthening their collaboration and providing enhanced travel experiences for their customers.

In addition to the existing codeshare routes between Bangkok and Bahrain, Gulf Air customers will now be able to book travel to additional cities in Thailand, such as Chiang Mai and Phuket, as well as international destinations including Hong Kong, Singapore, and Melbourne.

THAI's statement, which was released on Saturday, expressed enthusiasm at the partnership, saying: “We are delighted to collaborate with Gulf Air to offer our passengers new and exciting travel opportunities. This partnership will provide seamless connectivity to prestigious destinations in the Middle East, Europe and Africa, while also generating new revenue streams for THAI."
