The flight, operated by national carrier Gulf Air, is coming from Ashgabat International Airport in Turkmenistan and includes dozens of citizens who departed the Iranian city of Mashhad in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. According to travel organizers, the flight will make a transit stop at Cairo International Airport before continuing to Bahrain International Airport. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is covering all expenses for the return journeys—both by land and air—for those who registered through the ministry's official evacuation channels. Passengers on the first group of evacuees shared their journey, stating the road trip from Mashhad to Ashgabat took around three hours. They arrived at the busy Turkmen airport on Friday afternoon. Bahrain's Ambassador to Turkey, Bassam Al-Marzouq, along with several embassy staff, was present at the Turkmenistan border to oversee the crossing process and ensure smooth coordination for the travelers. One of the returning citizens, businessman Kazem Al-Saeed, described his experience coming back from Mashhad. He traveled on a FlyDubai flight that landed in Bahrain on Friday evening. Al-Saeed explained that Bahrainis seeking assistance to return from Iran must first visit the Zamzam Hotel in Mashhad to register their names and receive details about the return process. He praised Ambassador Bassam Al-Marzouq and embassy staff for personally overseeing the arrangements at Ashgabat Airport and accompanying passengers from the border to the terminal to ensure everything ran smoothly. Al-Saeed also expressed his gratitude to Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullatif Al Zayani for his active role in following up on the citizens' situation and for facilitating their safe return.
