Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, has placed a firm order for 35 Airbus aircraft.
The company said that its current fleet includes 10 A320s, six A330-200s and nine A340-300s and the new order will be more than double the number of Airbus aircraft in their fleet.
The A320 will serve Gulf Air's regional destinations, while the A330 will operate on the airline's European routes and enhance its far eastern services, the company added.
Bjorn Naf, CEO of Gulf Air, said: "Expanding our fleet with Airbus will ensure a smooth introduction of the new aircraft into our existing fleet with the best operating economics in their class and our customers will appreciate the high levels of passenger room and comfort."
