GF Airline Code: Gulf Air IATA & ICAO
Gulf Air is stored in this dataset as IATA code GF and ICAO code GFA, based in Bahrain. GDS segment lines print the IATA code before the flight number. Live routes, fares and baggage policies are not in this dataset.
Overview
GF is the IATA airline designator stored for Gulf Air. ICAO is GFA. Country of record: Bahrain. On a cryptic GDS line the IATA code sits immediately before the flight number, for example GF 456. Agents should not confuse GF (two characters, sometimes a digit such as 6E) with GFA (three letters). This code page does not list routes, alliances, baggage rules, or fleet. Those facts are not in the dataset. Other Bahrain carriers stored here: none stored. To decode a full itinerary that markets GF, paste the PNR into the parser.
How to use this page
- Find GF at the start of the flight line in the PNR.
- Paste the full itinerary into the PNR parser (or the GDS-specific parser if you know the host).
- Confirm the carrier name resolves to Gulf Air.
- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
Example segment: 2 GF 456 H 26OCT 5 WLGAKL HK1 1945 2050 The parser should set marketing carrier GF (Gulf Air) and flight 456. Class H is a fare bucket, not proof of cabin without the booking-class tool.
