Gulf Air commenced operations from its new home at Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris, France. The airline has moved from Terminal 1 to the newly refurbished Terminal 2C.
Bahrain’s Ambassador to the Republic of France His Excellency Dr. Nasser Mohammed Albulooshi presided over the official opening of Gulf Air’s brand new check-in area at the Terminal together with Gulf Air Commercial Manager France Mr Vincent Verdonck and Airport Manager Mr Danielo Samper.
In keeping with the airline’s renowned Arabian hospitality, passengers checking-in at the airline’s new home were given a warm welcome by staff. Each guest was presented with a rose and at the gate a small reception was held with canapés and refreshments.
Gulf Air Commercial Manager France Mr Vincent Verdonck said: “I would like to thank His Excellency for attending our first day of operations from Terminal 2C. This move has been the result of a great deal of hard work from the team here in Paris and our colleagues in Head Office.
“For our customers, the move will bring them an enhanced travel experience with greater levels of comfort and convenience from shorter queues at check-in to far greater connectivity to central Paris and the rest of France on the TGV, France’s high speed rail service.
Terminal 2C offers common check in check-in for Economy Class and Premium passengers enabling Gulf Air customers to check-in at any one of the 32 economy check-in desks in halls 2/3/4/6/7 and nine Business Class check-in desks in Hall 5, dramatically reducing queuing time.
For premium passengers, departure and arrival fast track services are available as well as excellent lounge facilities at the Air France premium lounge. The lounge is fully equipped allowing customers to work or relax before their flight with the availability of snacks and beverages, newspapers, wi-fi internet access, shower facilities and more.
There is direct access from Terminal 2C to the RER, the local express train into Paris, as well as the TGV, France’s high speed rail network. Gulf Air has an extensive codeshare agreement with TGV providing seamless connections to key destinations across France.
