Gulf Air Relaunches Direct Bahrain-New York Flights Enhancing US-Gulf Ties

News summary

Gulf Shores International Airport has introduced new nonstop Allegiant Airlines flights from Appleton, Wisconsin, and Des Moines, Iowa, directly to the Alabama Gulf Coast, offering affordable and convenient travel alternatives to Midwest visitors who previously drove long distances. These routes operate up to twice weekly with introductory fares as low as $54, aiming to boost tourism and provide budget-friendly options for vacationers. Meanwhile, Gulf Air has relaunched its direct flights from Bahrain International Airport to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, operating three weekly Boeing 787-9 flights. This service reestablishes Bahrain's direct air link to the US following an FAA safety assessment clearance and symbolizes strengthened economic, cultural, and strategic ties between Bahrain and the United States. The relaunch was celebrated with a reception attended by Bahraini officials and highlights Bahrain's ambition to expand its role as a global aviation hub and foster bilateral cooperation in various sectors. Both developments reflect broader efforts to enhance connectivity and promote travel between key regions.
