In November 2025, the airline carried 603,351 passengers and operated 4,376 flights. With a load factor of 87%, the results reflect solid passenger demand and efficient capacity management throughout the period.
Compared with the same period last year, passenger numbers increased by 27%, rising from 474,917, while total flights grew by 10%, up from 3,996. The passenger load factor increased from 74.8% to 87.0% in 2025, highlighting stronger demand and improved network utilization.
Chief Executive Officer Martin Gauss said: “Gulf Air continues to build momentum across its network, supported by strong demand, effective capacity planning, and reliable operations. The focus remains on sustainable growth and enhancing the travel experience, reinforcing Gulf Air’s role in positioning Bahrain as a key regional aviation hub.”
As the airline enters a seasonally stronger travel period, Gulf Air remains well positioned to maintain this performance, with continued emphasis on operational reliability, service quality, and sustainable growth that supports Bahrain’s broader aviation ambitions.
Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain and the first national carrier in the GCC, was established in 1950. Today, the airline operates to more than 50 destinations across the GCC, Asia, Europe, America, and the Indian Subcontinent. The airline has been recognized as a “Five-Star Major Airline” by APEX for the year 2026, and its fleet comprises 10 Boeing 787 aircraft and 34 Airbus A320/A321 aircraft.
