0 April 2020:In the fight against COVID-19, Gulf Air has introduced a bundle of golden principles to maintain the health and safety of their customers. They are as follows- The seating arrangements are modified in such a way that the passengers are seated as far away from each other as possible depending on the flight load, to maintain social distancing.
- Passengers to maintain a safe distance at the Gulf Air check-in counters and boarding gates
- Passengers to wear masks and disposable gloves while travelling
- All meals and beverages on all flights are served in disposable containers with disposable cutlery and cups.
- To minimise contact on board, select amenities and services have been temporarily removed. Non-essential paper materials, headrests, blankets, pyjamas and amenity kits are not available on board.
The cabin crew is fully trained to follow international guidelines in regards to personal protective equipment which are available on-board. All aircraft are disinfected and decontaminated after every flight which includes wiping down all surfaces like seat belts, in-seat controls, tray tables, overhead lockers, air vents, door handles and lavatories.
Gulf Air is working closely with the concerned authorities in the Kingdom of Bahrain and all airports of its network to take all precautionary and preventive measures in order to ensure the health and safety of the passengers and crew.
