MANAMA: Gulf Air, the national carrier of Bahrain, celebrated its resumption of services to Erbil in Iraq as its flight GF233 landed at Erbil International Airport on Sunday.
Upon arrival, a celebratory event was held at the airport which was attended by Gulf Air’s chief operations officer Captain Suhail Ismaeel and the airline’s country manager in Iraq Isa Shah, along with various dignitaries, local media, travel industry representatives and airport officials.
Captain Ismaeel said: “We are happy to return to Erbil and operate direct flights to and from this Iraqi city.”
