Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain, May 17, 2010: Kanoo Travel, the largest travel management company in the Middle East, today announced that it has been appointed the GSA (General Sales Agent) contract with United Airlines for the Kingdom of Bahrain. As part of the agreement, Kanoo Travel will provide reservations, sales and marketing support for the airline in Bahrain.

Speaking on the agreement, Mr. Mubarak Kanoo, Deputy Group Chairman and Chairman of the Travel Board, Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo, said, “We are delighted to be appointed the GSA for United Airlines in Bahrain. Our renewed relationship in Bahrain and long standing business relationships in other parts of the GCC is proof of our mutual understanding and vision in this market. We believe that Kanoo Travel and United Airlines are both experienced campaigners in our respective industries and this partnership will not only complement our businesses but will also be mutually beneficial.”
