National carrier Gulf Air has renewed its partnership with the Royal Bahrain Concours as the airline plans to increase its support for the event to be held later this year.
Taking place at the Royal Golf Club in Riffa on November 6-7, the Royal Bahrain Concours will once again bring together a carefully curated collection of exceptional cars, collectors and international guests.
The support from Gulf Air follows a highly successful inaugural edition, which welcomed 60 collector cars and more than 200 members’ cars from leading car clubs across the GCC.
“We are delighted that Gulf Air has renewed its partnership with the Royal Bahrain Concours for 2026, and that it will be supporting the event in an even greater capacity this year,” said Royal Bahrain Concours chairman James Brooks-Ward.
“Gulf Air was part of the story from the beginning, supporting the inaugural edition and helping us introduce the Royal Bahrain Concours to collectors, enthusiasts and guests from across the region and beyond. Its decision to strengthen that involvement for 2026 is a huge vote of confidence in what we are building.
“As Bahrain’s national carrier, Gulf Air is a natural partner for an event that is designed to bring the world’s finest cars, leading collectors and luxury brands to the kingdom. Together, we share a commitment to presenting Bahrain at its very best: welcoming, ambitious, internationally connected and capable of hosting truly world-class experiences.”
Gulf Air chief executive officer Martin Gauss added that they are pleased to renew and enhance their partnership with the event this year.
“The first edition demonstrated the strength of Bahrain’s luxury and automotive community, while also attracting attention from collectors, enthusiasts and visitors from across the region and worldwide,” said Mr Gauss.
“We have full confidence in the continued growth of the Royal Bahrain Concours and are proud to play a greater role in supporting this year’s event.
“As the national carrier of Bahrain, Gulf Air is committed to supporting initiatives that promote the kingdom as a distinctive international destination. The Royal Bahrain Concours is a strong example of that ambition, combining automotive excellence, hospitality and culture in a setting that reflects the best of Bahrain.”
Organised by Thorough Events in collaboration with the Bahrain Tourism and Exhibitions Authority, the Royal Bahrain Concours has established itself as a major addition to the region’s luxury events calendar and an important new fixture within the international concours world.
Further details regarding the 2026 programme, partners and ticket information will be announced in due course.
