Gulf Air’s new website address is www.gulfair.com _ easier to remember, easier to get to know about the airline and easier to book and buy tickets online.

For the past decade, the airline’s web address was www.gulfairco.com, which will be gradually discontinued.

"We are very glad to get back our rightful domain name," says Gulf Air Vice President Marketing and Sales Mr. Lee Shave. 

"The name Gulf Air has been etched strongly in the minds of our customers for over five decades and it is natural and easier for any one to just type in the easier-to-remember web site address, when they want to go online."

The new web site address is already active and will be progressively used in all advertising and communication.

However, those who still type in the old address will automatically be diverted seamlessly to www.gulfair.com. In particular, email messages sent to @gulfairco.com addresses will also be automatically delivered to the new addresses.

Through www.gulfair.com, which has been recently revamped with new look and enhanced facilities, visitors can book and buy tickets online in just a few clicks, be the first to know about special offers and deals, read about our best-in-class products and services and Frequent Flyer programme.
