Gulf Air can and will (re)start the route, like they did for Kolkata, Dublin, etc., etc. And when it nears the end of its incubation period, some wise crack will order its closure - paving the way for others to operate and make money there.
Anything new?
Of course, when GF starts, there will be bickerings about safety, "My nationality does not allow me" etc. etc. , but it will subside in a month's time.
