Gulf and Olympic to code share on Sydney flights
Olympic Airways will code share on daily Gulf Air services between Sydney and Athens from November 23.
Gulf Air will operate the flights using A340-300 aircraft on the Sydney-Singapore-Bahrain leg, and an A320 on the Bahrain-Athens sector.
Gulf Air chairman James Hogan said passengers would stop over in Bahrain for just over an hour before proceeding on to the Greek capital.
“The schedule will offer the shortest and most convenient daily flights between Australia and Greece,” Hogan said.
Gulf Air said it stood to benefit from access to Olympic Airways’ sales and distribution network and the large VFR market that travelled between Greece and Australia.
Olympic chairman, Dionissios Kalophonos, said the code share would provide a commercially viable way for the carrier to reinstate services to Australia.
