Gulf Air and Malaysia Airlines in pact
Gulf Air and Malaysia Airlines entered a code-sharing agreement opening up routes and services to each other in their respective networks effective September 18.
The agreement allows Malaysia Airlines to market seats under its code on Gulf Air flights between Kuala Lumpur bound for Bahrain and Oman.
“Code-sharing enables travellers to enjoy a seamless product, as a single airline supervises the passenger’s entire journey,” says Gulf Air President and chief executive James Hogan.
According to Malaysian officials, around 147,646 Gulf tourists visited Malaysia last year, up from 123,000 in 2004.
