Gulf Air also serves Bahrain airport, which has a good climate for corrosion of aircraft. The airport is surrounded by sea, and the humidity at night can reach 100%, and there is salt in that fog. It never rains between April and December, but at 22:00 you need windcreen wipers all the time to clear the humidity away. These climatic conditions have corroded some of the Gulfair aircraft.
