The impossibility of reopening Bahrain Airport in the short term, due to the Gulf War<\/a>, is extending Gulf Air's temporary offer of flights departing from Dammam International Airport in Saudi Arabia. The third-largest airport in the Saudi kingdom, handling over 13 million passengers in 2025, is indeed 115 km from Bahrain, a 1.5-hour drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iranians have so far not dared to attack Saudi Arabia's civilian aviation infrastructure, which has made it clear that it would intervene militarily if they did. Consequently, since March, Gulf Air has repositioned its aircraft in Dammam, offering flights to a dozen destinations this April. These include, notably, **Paris**, with three flights per week, operated by Boeing 787-9 or Airbus A321neo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
