Gulf Air Chinese

Gulf Air has come a long way since it launched services in 1950 as Gulf Aviation Company. Owned by the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Sultanate of Oman the airline started as a small scale commuter service, serving the oil fields of the Gulf and some regional customers.

Today, Gulf Air is a major international airline serving 46 destinations worldwide. However, whether it is 10 or 100 destinations, seven seater planes or the latest state of the art jets, their goal has remained constant – a commitment to their latest aviation technology and an adherence to traditional Arabian hospitality.

The gold standard for inflight slumbers

When new Sky Beds were introduced into First and Business Class, Gulf Air’s aim was to offer their passengers the very best … and they know they have succeeded.

It’s not only the convertible seats, finest duvets and pillows that help you sleep, it’s also the small touches like the removable arm-rests for that little bit more elbow room, the mug of hot chocolate or Horlicks and the numerous pockets for you to stash your specs, shoes and even your laptop.

Currently available on all A330 aircraft and progressively being rolled out across the A340 fleet, Sky Beds are designed to help you sleep, but they also offer flexible seating to enable you to dine with a friend as well as in-seat laptop connections and phones and access to 21 video and 21 audio channels.

First Class
Private sleep compartments are just part of the First Class service with Gulf Air, the most exclusive way to travel in the air with a premium cabin that accommodates just eight seats.

With an 80-inch pitch and 25-inch width bed, the Class 180 seat converts to a full size bed with fitted cotton sheets, over-size pillows and duvets, as well as the offer of pyjamas, changing room facilities and a suit pack to store your day clothes.

Wake up to a healthy breakfast or enjoy a full cooked breakfast served at your seat. And, you can even invite a colleague travelling in First Class to join you and fit in a working breakfast with a window on the world.

Business Class
Enjoy first class service and amenities with Sky Beds in Business Class. Technologically engineered to offer the healthiest and most relaxing sleeping environment, they have a 63-inch pitch and 24-inch bed width, complemented by cotton-back blankets, pillows and a hot mug of bedtime comfort.

Whether sleeping, working or taking advantage of Gulf Air’s Cinema, privacy is guaranteed with a 2-2-2 configuration, individual dividing screens and a cocoon seat head, plus noise-cancelling headphones, and laptop powerpoints and in-seat phones.

However you choose to fly, Gulf Air offers you the best of the best.
