Gulf Air has admitted that it cancelled its GF563 flight because of the Bahraini passengers returning from the Iranian city of Mashhad. It said that it made the decision on Friday (March 27, 2020) to cancel one of its scheduled flights from Muscat Airport after it was revealed that there was a large number of registered passengers arriving from Iran via Doha Airport.

76 of the Bahrainis stranded in Mashhad left for Tehran, then to Doha and Muscat, on their way back to Bahrain. At 11:20 a.m. and in front of the gate for boarding the plane, passengers were surprised that the flight was delayed. After 45 minutes, they were told that the flight had been cancelled without explanation.

Some groups held in the isolation unit complained that, after completing a full two weeks, they were obliged to stay for an additional two weeks after a new case of coronavirus was discovered.

The first batch of Bahrainis, who were stranded in Iran after the spread of Coronavirus there, has landed in Bahrain, and more are expected to return.
