Gulf Air Expands European Network Through Partnership with Greece’s SKY express

Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, recently announced a new Special Prorate Agreement (SPA) with Greek airline SKY express.

The one-way agreement allows Gulf Air passengers to seamlessly connect onto SKY express flights, opening up new travel opportunities to the largest destination network in Greece and beyond.

Specifically, Gulf Air passengers can fly and connect through Athens to 32 destinations across Greece. Under the agreement, passengers traveling from Europe – via key hubs such as Rome, Milan, Paris, Munich, Frankfurt, and London – can enjoy seamless connections with a single ticket from their city of departure through Athens to Bahrain, and onward to Gulf Air’s extensive network.

According to a Gulf Air spokesperson, the partnership signifies a key step in Gulf Air’s network expansion strategy, broadening its reach and strengthening its market presence in Greece and Europe.

“By connecting our network to SKY express, we’re offering our passengers enhanced travel experiences to the Greek destinations with seamless connectivity, and more travel options to choose from,” the spokesperson said.

By streamlining connections through the Greek airports included in the agreement, Gulf Air enhances operational efficiency while providing passengers with a wider array of destination choices.

On his part, SKY express Chief Commercial Officer Gerasimos Skaltsas said the partnership with Gulf Air marks a significant milestone in the Greek airline’s international expansion, enhancing connectivity for passengers across Greece and global destinations via Bahrain.

“By offering seamless travel with a single ticket, we are providing a more convenient and comprehensive travel experience,” he said.
