Starting September 30, the Bahrain's flagship carrier plans to operate two flights a week to Tel Aviv.

“We are delighted to announce the launch of our Bahrain–Tel Aviv route as part of the historic Bahraini–Israeli relations. As the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, we take great pride in supporting our leadership and Kingdom in their role of preserving peace and prosperity in the region. We hope this is merely the beginning of developing further opportunities,” remarked Captain Waleed Al Alawi, Gulf Air's Acting CEO.

The announcement of the destination follows several agreements signed last year between Bahrain and Israel, including civil aviation.
