Gulf Air is introducing a Falcon Corporate Plus programme offering exclusive privileges that can be tailor-made for each customer.

Benefits include price discounts, free upgrades from economy to Falcon Gold class, free lounge access for economy class passengers, and free parking and chauffeur service to and from the  Bahrain International Airport.

The airline will also focus on SMEs with the creation of an incentive programme specifically tailored to meet their requirements.

The services are part of a wide-ranging commercial revamp, which also cover government, family, youth and pensioner sectors, designed to boost business through Bahrain.

Government travellers will be able to book on the go through 'smart offices'.

Family First enables parents to relax while children are looked after by professionally trained Sky Nannies and the airline will open a store in in Seef Mall where families can come, enquire and book tickets.

The carrier plans to ring the changes to its on-board cuisine too with premium passengers able to pick from "bespoke cuisines" that are designed, prepared and served by Sky Chefs.

"Our ultimate aim is to make Gulf Air the carrier of choice in the region with a strong emphasis on being a family and business-friendly airline while establishing a leadership position in our home market," said Chief Commercial Officer Karim Makhlouf.

The airline recently introduced promotional summer packages in a bid to attract regional business (click here).

I'm a Gold card member for life, I would love to see what they have to offer to entice business. Also why cant they give special offers to frequent flyers before they go public!!!!
