A new budget airline under the Gulf Air Group Holding Company (GFG) has been proposed by a group of MPs.
Strategic Thinking Bloc spokesman Khalid Bu Onk said the national sovereign wealth fund, Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company, needs to explore the lucrative budget airline market with several aircraft companies across the GCC already building a base of loyal customers.
However, he assured that the new facility is not being seen as a replacement for Bahrain’s national carrier, Gulf Air, but more as an option.
