Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, has launched its latest campaign offering passengers more travel flexibility with the option to make unlimited changes to travel dates without paying any change fees.
The ‘No Fees, Unlimited Changes’ campaign is in reaction to the current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and its global impact on air transport.
“Passengers with issued bookings in 2020 and new bookings made from today until the 31 March are eligible to unlimited changes to their travel dates without paying any change fees,” the carrier said in a statement.
“The airline has also taken into consideration its Falconflyer members, extending their current status and membership tier for the next three months’ regardless of not completing the required number of trips or miles travelled,” it said.
Gulf Air also reassured passengers that it is applying strict International Air Transport Association (IATA) disinfectant procedures inside the aircraft cabin and urged passengers to apply preventative measures recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
“The airline continuously coordinates with the relevant authorities in Bahrain and with airports throughout its network to take all precautionary and preventive measures in order to ensure the safety and security of our passengers and crew,” the carrier added.
