The Orders seem like they are too good to be true. As for now they have 20 320 neos on order and 16 787s. Since they already have started training engineers for the 787 and already maintain KLM's 787 on the Bahrain sector , I don't think they will back out for once. 50 more possible airbus order sounds too good to be true but from what I heard it was to connect Bahrain to major cities around the world since the Oil dependent country needs foreign investments; the only way that can be done is getting the island easy to access. Hence,there are hardly any visa restrictions on the island as well. That is why it is possibly true but I don't suppose they can be all 320s ,can they? probably a mixture of 321neo and airbus 350s.

Sounds like some good news but the management would remain the same Unless those 50 aircraft comes with a free competent CEO.
