(MENAFN) Gulf Air, Bahrain's national carrier, said it plans to purchase up to 50 Airbus planes, the country's Information Minister said in a statement.
The massive new deal was the result of discussions between Bahrain's King and French President during a meeting held in the French capital Paris.
The two presidents discussed a number of "mega-projects" as the state plans to build a new airport terminal and a second causeway linking it to Saudi Arabia.
"Gulf Air met today with Airbus and discussed the airline's future narrow- and wide-body fleet requirements - up to 50 aircraft," the minister said.
