London to Bagdad

GULF AIR is to open next Monday (31 August) what it claims is by far the quickest connecting flight between London and Iraq.  Gulf Air Chief Commercial Officer Mr Willy Boulter says: "There are currently no direct services from the UK to Baghdad and so we have ensured that our service provides excellent connectivity for our customers flying from London Heathrow via our hub in Bahrain.  We believe there will be significant demand for our services to Iraq from the UK and Europe and we strongly believe we have an opportunity to become the market leader in our operations there”.  Mr Boulter confirmed that the airline plans to add Najaf and Erbil to the network at the end of September and is looking at other Iraqi destinations. www.gulfair.com
