Is Bahrain Air government? Kuwait has its own KU along with Jazeera. There is nothing wrong specially if Bahrain Air remains private despite being "sponsored" by the PM's clan. I wonder the role a certain ex-GF VPOps will play given his present government post and his association with his present boss
possibly a staunch defender of this project?
Wikipedia says:
Bahrain Air (Arabic: طيران البحرين) is the second flag carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain. The low-cost airline plans to operate initially scheduled services to 13 destinations in the Middle East. The airline plans to increase its destinations to 14 cities by April 2008, 23 cities by 2009 and up to 25 cities by 2010.
Bahrain Air will start operations on February 1, 2008. The airline will use a modern Airbus A320 fleet, with 12 seats in business and 150 in economy, and Boeing 737, with 24 seats in business and 168 in economy. It will initially fly on Bahrain, Dubai, Mashad, Beirut and Alexandria routes.
Managing director Ibrahim Al Hamer said the plan was to increase the number of destinations to 25 in the next three years.
