More Australians visit Gulf

www.bahraintribune.com Gulf Air chief executive James Hogan has expressed frustration by impressions that it was unsafe to travel to the Gulf region.
“The news clouds a region that from a tourism point of view has a lot of beauty,” he said in Australia where he is currently on a working visit. He said that nevertheless, the number of travellers from Australia to the region was rising.
Hogan said that there were at the same time more travellers from the Gulf to Australia, attributing the increase to the Gulf citizens seeking alternative travel destinations.
Last November, Gulf Air began daily flights to Sydney, and is now achieving an average seat load rate of 75 per cent. Sydney is its Australian hub and the airline said that it did not plan to fly to other capital cities except under code-sharing agreements with Qantas Airways.
Hogan said that Gulf Air was eyeing further growth in the Indian market. “India is going towards an open skies policy and as that market opens up we see further opportunities to develop our business,” he said. Gulf Air is the largest foreign airline operating in India. |
