Amman, Royal Jordanian and Gulf Air entered into a full code-share agreement to offer passengers 11-weekly flights between Amman, Jordan and Manama, Bahrain. Under the terms of the agreement, the flights will be operated by Gulf Air and marketed by both carriers. 

Under the agreement, Gulf Air will be operating 11 weekly frequencies, departing from Amman as three morning flights, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, four noon flights, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, and another four evening flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.  

Hussein Dabbas Royal Jordanian President and Chief Executive Officer said: “Gulf Air and Royal Jordanian enjoy a robust relationship; our airline has been cooperating with Gulf Air since May 2004, when we signed a code-share agreement allowing free sale of seats on both carriers’ flights between Amman and Manama. Both of us provide superb on board and on ground services and competitive ticket prices.” 

Samer Majali Gulf Air Chief Executive Officer added: “We have always had excellent commercial and codeshare relationship with Royal Jordanian for several years working to benefit each other’s passenger segments.”
“The new agreement facilitates both airlines to streamline operations in the interest of serving our passengers as well as the carriers in response to market demand. We will ensure Royal Jordanian passengers get the same consistent and high-quality service and products when they travel with Gulf Air.” 

“With 11 flights per week from Amman to Bahrain, Gulf Air provides wider travel options for passengers with a choice of morning, noon and evening flights to reach Bahrain at their own convenience. In addition, these flights provide excellent onward connectivity to the Far East, Saudi Arabia and the Indian sub-continent with a very minimal waiting time in Bahrain, while on return flights, passengers can connect via Amman to a number of European cities across  Royal Jordanian’s extensive network,” Majali concluded.

Royal Jordanian passengers may book a flight through the airline’s website from any of their destinations to Bahrain via Amman. Likewise, Gulf Air passengers may book flights to over 20 European and North American destinations via Amman with over 30 connections within 3 hours.
