Gulf Air Chief Executive Officer, Mr Krešimir Kučko commented: “We are delighted to welcome the second A320neo to our fleet and proud to be the first national carrier in the region to operate the A320neo. We have a strong network in the region with multiple daily flights to 10 regional cities and the addition of A320neo into our fleet will strengthen our position in our market. We invite our loyal customers to come on-board and enjoy the experience of flying on A320neo.”
