“This is an exciting development for the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain. Now, not only do we operate from and to our hub, but we also operate from and to foreign points and give the opportunity for more passengers to experience the Arabian hospitality at a local level in their own markets. We studied the demand between Athens and Larnaca as well as between Bangkok and Singapore to carry passengers between each city pair. This is the beginning of a wider plan to expand globally and be available and more visible to the local markets in the countries that we fly to.”
