SAFI Airways has increased its presence in the region with a new flight between Kabul and Bahrain, bringing its number of Middle East destinations to three.
The schedule from Kabul to Bahrain, which started on June 24, is part of a codeshare agreement with Gulf Air who will operate an additional three flights per week. Safi Airways will place its flight number on the three flights operated by Gulf Air from Bahrain to Kabul.
“Introduction of services to Bahrain and our codeshare agreement with Gulf Air, will provide a choice of six weekly services between Kabul and the island state,” said Lloyd Carswell, chief commercial officer of Safi Airways.
“Access to Gulf Air’s European network offers passengers in Afghanistan even more choice when planning to fly from Kabul,” he added.
Commenting on the codeshare agreement with Safi Airways, Gulf Air chief commercial officer Karim Makhlouf said: “The expansion of our operations to Kabul through the codeshare agreement reinforces our commitment to strengthening our regional network and connecting regional markets. With a total of six weekly flights now between Bahrain and Kabul, travellers can take advantage of our fast and easy connections via Bahrain to fly to any of the 50 destinations across Gulf Air’s network.”
The service will operate the A320 with 12 seats in Business Class and 132 seats in Economy.
