@Mephistopheles: I doubt the aircraft is grounded in KTM hence BAY is operating for Alpine Air (Instead of the A319) as negotiated before. Bahrain Air aircraft (BAP/BAS/BAT) which are parked are making money because these are not owned by the company but leased by a Sudanese company and operated by Bahrain Air (Blue Nile I think their name is) and they are still waiting for the AOC. Mind you, these aircrafts have an intra-gulf restriction with a maximum of 3 hours flying time. Mostly BAS on the BAH-DXB-KRT route.
