Saudia and Gulf Air tighten ties with codeshare

Middle Eastern carriers Saudia and Gulf Air are to enter a co-operation agreement which will include a codeshare between the two airlines. The codeshare will take effect during the summer schedule. Saudia says the tie-up will involve placing its ‘SV’ designator on Gulf Air’s services from Bahrain to Riyadh and Jeddah, plus the routes to Tbilisi, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Baku and Multan. In turn, Gulf Air’s designator ‘GF’ will be carried on Saudia’s flights from Riyadh and Jeddah to Bahrain, as well as the Saudi cities of Abha, Jizan, Yanbu, Al Jouf and Hail, and the Tunisian capital Tunis. “Both airlines have a long history of partnership, in which this expanded codeshare agreement further enhances connectivity, convenience and flexibility for travellers,” says Saudia chief Ibrahim Koshy.<br/>
