Aiming to enhance air connectivity between India and Bahrain, Jet Airways and Gulf Air have entered into a code-share agreement.
The agreement will come into effect on April 12.
As per the agreement, Gulf Air will place its flight code on Jet Airways' daily services between Mumbai and Bahrain while Jet Airways will place its flight code on all Gulf Air-operated flights between Bahrain and Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.
"Besides offering enhanced connectivity to Bahrain from several cities in India, the agreement will also enable our guests from Bahrain to tap into our unmatched domestic network, besides complimenting our existing frequent flier partnership," Nikos Kardassis, CEO, Jet Airways said.
Jet Airways currently flies to 42 domestic destinations that span the length and breadth of India, and 22 destinations across North America, Europe, Asia and the Gulf from several cities in India.
While, Gulf Air's current network stretches from Europe to Asia, connecting 43 cities in 28 countries, with a fleet of 35 aircraft.
Gulf Air CEO Samer Majali said the agreement will enable both carriers to further leverage their respective networks, offering passengers enhanced connectivity, baggage checked-through to their final destination and a host of other benefits.
"This agreement makes commercial sense for both carriers to achieve further revenue synergies by utilising each others leadership position in their respective market niches," he said.
