Bahrain's national carrier Gulf Air has announced the expansion of its temporary operations from King Fahd International Airport in the Saudi city of Dammam to include Istanbul (Turkey), Athens (Greece) as well as the South Indian city of Thiruvananthapuram.

Gulf Air will provide ground transportation between the Kingdom of Bahrain and King Fahd International Airport for passengers holding confirmed bookings on these flights.

Gulf Air is also facilitating Saudi Arabia transit visa assistance exclusively for passengers travelling to and from the Kingdom of Bahrain, who are using Gulf Air organized ground transportation, stated the kingdom's flag-carrier. Passengers whose final destination is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, must hold a valid visa arranged independently, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
