Emirates and Gulf Air Launch Codeshare Partnership
Emirates and Gulf Air have now formally agreed to a unilateral codeshare arrangement
Emirates and Gulf Air have now formally agreed to a unilateral codeshare arrangement that will begin in December*. With the new agreement, Gulf Air customers connecting to Dubai and continuing on to a number of Emirates destinations in Europe, Africa, South America, and the Far East will have easier connections and more options.
The agreement was signed on the first day of the Bahrain Airshow, signalling a growing relationship between both airlines following on the framework of cooperation established last year.
The expanded partnership will allow Gulf Air to use their marketing code “GF” on Emirates-operated flights outside of Dubai to a number of the most appealing international tourist destinations, providing new travel options for Gulf Air customers. There will be connections available to destinations such as Budapest, Prague, Warsaw, Algeria, Tunis, Bali, Hanoi, HoChi Minh City, Taipei, and Sao Paulo for travellers.
The new codeshare agreement includes a variety of unique points as GCC travellers seek out new, diverse experiences and attractions outside of their typical vacation destinations as they become more informed, value-driven, and savvy.

Customers will benefit from the convenience of combined ticketing and check-in, a uniform policy and easy baggage transfers, as well as affordable single fares on multi-airline journeys when connecting on Emirates, thanks to the new partnership. Customers can make travel arrangements on the Gulf Air website, at Gulf Air points of sale, through online travel agencies, as well as with local travel agents.
As of right now, Emirates has codeshare cooperation agreements in place with 26 airline partners and two rail companies around the world, extending its network to over 300 cities.
