MANAMA, Bahrain, July 2: Gulf Air introduced a totally revamped flight schedule from July 1, 2007, said a press release.
The new network, based on a "wave" model, offers as many as 588 flights every week in the Middle East with more non-stop flights than by any other airline.
Speaking on the occasion, Gulf Air President and Chief Executive André Dosé said: "Our restructuring plan seeks to put in place an efficient network that improves punctuality, reduces the transit time between connecting flights and provides a range of travel options for our customers."
"I can assure that the new network will serve that purpose and our customers will get what they want -- a satisfying and enhanced flying experience."
The schedule has been prepared keeping in mind the time-conscious business traveller, who wants to fly out and return on the same day and, other travellers, who want excellent connecting flights to other destinations, the release added.
Customers will no longer need to spend hours at airports waiting for their connecting flights. The arrivals and departures have been scheduled in such a way that customers will find a return flight or an onward flight in just about an hour.
Besides, they will have a greater choice of flights to and from within the Middle East and more flexible options to travel further to Europe, Far East or the Indian sub-continent.
According to new arrangement, any passenger arriving in Bahrain between 6:30 and 7:10pm from Amman, Cairo, Damascus, Beirut, Paris, Athens, or Istanbul, will have a connecting flight to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Kuwait or Doha between 7:50 and 8pm.
