Gulf Air has travelled a long distance since it began operations in 1950 as Gulf Aviation Company. It is owned by the Kingdom of Bahrain through Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company. The airline began operations as a small scale commuter service, serving the oil fields of the Gulf and some regional customers. At present, Gulf Air is a key international airline serving over 40 destinations worldwide. Nonetheless, whether it is 10 or 100 destinations, seven seater planes or the modern state of the art jets, the aim of Gulf Air has remained constant - a commitment to the most up-to-date aviation technology and loyalty to traditional Arabian hospitality
Gulf Air Company is the principal airline of Bahrain, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It has a fleet of 30 aircraft and flies to 43 cities in 32 countries from Europe to Asia. The company has earned a name for providing exceptional cabin service and takes pleasure in its history as a leader in the Gulf airline industry and as an example of teamwork between governments.
Gulf Air has its origins from the Gulf Aviation Company, which was set up in Bahrain by a young British aviator, Freddy Bosworth. Bosworth had taken over the local community's attention in flying through sightseeing trips and soon set up a commuter service between Bahrain, Doha, and Dhahran with his single airplane.
