Bahrain’s Gulf Air to Launch Five Weekly Flights on Casablanca Route

Bahraini’s Gulf Air will launch five weekly flights on the Casablanca air route on June 11, the airlines said.

Gulf Air said it will operate its newly acquired Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners on the Casablanca-Manama air route.

The new destination is part of an expansion plan of the Bahraini carrier, which aspires to emulate the success of its Gulf neighbor’s mighty fleets.

“Serving one of the key cities in Africa and Morocco’s biggest city is a major leap in that direction,” the company said in a statement.

Gulf Air will take delivery of four Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and two Airbus A320neo this year.

The airlines set the aim of serving 49 cities in 26 countries by the end of 2018.
