Gulf Air Cargo

Gulf Air Cargo is the dedicated freight division of Bahrain's national flag carrier. It operates as a vital link in the Middle Eastern logistics network, leveraging the belly-hold capacity of its parent airline's commercial fleet to provide international transport services. The organisation acts as a primary facilitator for trade between the Gulf region and global markets, positioning itself as a hub-and-spoke provider within the air freight value chain. The service utilises a modern fleet consisting of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft. Its operations are centred at Bahrain International Airport, serving a network that spans across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Indian Subcontinent. The division collaborates with international freight forwarders and logistics integrators to manage the movement of general cargo, perishable goods, and high-value consignments. Prospective partners should verify the specific cargo handling certifications held at various outstations and the current status of their IATA CEIV certifications for specialised shipments. It is also necessary to confirm the maximum dimensional limits and weight capacities of the specific narrow-body and wide-body aircraft assigned to desired routes, as these dictate the feasibility of heavy or oversized freight tasks.
