Currently offering over 12,000 seats a week between New Delhi, Mumbai, Kochi and Chennai to Bahrain, Gulf Air will soon add more capacity by deploying A321.

Through the new narrow body, single aisle aircraft, the carrier will add over 30 per cent of the capacity by offering 161 economy and eight Falcon Gold Class seats with more legroom in both the classes.

It is aiming to become the ‘Carrier of Choice’ among the Indian travellers by launching a few more initiatives like, the introduction of Falcon Corporate Plus (exclusively designed for corporate travellers), relaunched Falcon Flyer programme, FamilyFirst programme and few travel agents initiatives to encourage indirect sales channels.
