About

Intelligence for the aviation decision-maker

Jetlink is a Bahrain-based aviation consultancy that produces data-driven market intelligence on the Gulf region. We analyse fleet movements, airspace closures, regulatory shifts, and operational data to produce reports that help airlines, lessors, investors, and regulators understand the market as it is — not as PR departments describe it.

Our approach combines open-source intelligence (OSINT) from platforms like Flightradar24, ADS-B feeds, and regulatory filings with deep domain expertise in Gulf aviation operations.
