Gulf Air has temporarily relocated a significant portion of its fleet from Bahrain International Airport to Saudi Arabia amid ongoing Israel-US-Iran tensions in the region.
Around 10 aircraft were flown to safer locations during a brief reopening of regional airspace on March 10. The transfers were conducted without passengers as a precaution while missile threats remain a concern, News.Az reports, citing Al Jazeera.
With several planes now temporarily stationed abroad, regular commercial operations from Bahrain are largely suspended.
