Gulf Air (GF): Airline Code for GDS PNRs
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
Gulf Air is stored as IATA GF and ICAO GFA, country Bahrain. The converter maps marketing carrier GF to this name when the code exists in the airline table. A typical segment starts with GF plus a numeric flight number and a booking class letter. This article is not an airline homepage: schedules, change fees, and loyalty rules are omitted because they are not stored and must not be invented. Peer carriers from Bahrain in this catalog: none stored. Use PNR to WhatsApp or PNR to PDF after parsing if you need a customer-facing copy of a booking that includes GF.
How to use this page

- Do not add baggage or meal claims that the PNR did not print.
Example
