Sounds to me like a prudent adjustment of the strategy. Oops, did I say "strategy?" I didn't mean to say "strategy." Oh chute, I said "strategy" again. Oh well, what other word to call it other than "strategy?"
In any case, concentrating on origin and final destination traffic for Bahrain is more visionary and intelligent, IMHO, than a strategy (oops, that word again) of Bahrainis subsidizing Pierre and Francois in Paris who are looking for a dirt-cheap flight for a 2-week holiday of debauchery in Pattaya, Thailand. If a significant percentage of the Bahrain population can't afford to travel in the first place, then they can ill-afford to subsidize Europeans or Indians doing the same.
