Shambolic! Might as well chuck it in the gulf. Get rid of a 1/3 of HQ staff, advertise properly in key markets and invest well in the on board product, and use the money definitively. Where's the accountability?? More to the point, who cares?

A fool and his money are quickly parted. The 80 million will last according to the current burn rate is 56 days. No urgency to fix the place just to keep taking last gulp of air (Gulp Air). What a shame Majali.

However, new rules were welcomed by Bahraini Mr X who said that it was only fair that foreigners go through the same process of visa applications as Bahrainis do when they wish to travel abroad.
"It is a good idea, why should we have to pay so much and wait for a visa when people from the same country can enter Bahrain so easily,"
A dose of reality is needed here I think.
Business, banking and tourism are turning their backs, so we shoot ourselves in the foot, again. Yup, makes perfect sense to me.

Just what GF needs right now, another nail.

Welcome to the dark ages! I see this a big boost to the F1 if it ever happens this year.well the neighbours to the east welcome most visitors with open arms. This would only make it even harder for family and freinds to visit their relatives here. Sadly bahrain is grinding to a screeching halt :-(
P.s... The dude's comment at the end of the article.. A very disillusioned man indeed.

Guys, you really don't know why they have changed the regulations. Don't listen to what they say, the real reason is that people with European/Canadian/US passports have been coming to Bahrain over the last year and helping the protestors, and they have been able to walk right. So they've basically closed this channel for everyone so now one has to go to a Bahraini Embassy and they can check your background thoroughly before you are given a visa.

Airman you're 100% correct.

I think this will be a temporary thing like, gulp, the Iran-Iraq routes

But not all citizens of above mentioned countries come to bah for the sole reason of 'helping' protesters. The new procedure will make it harder for people abroad from conducting meetings in bah, such as expat bussiness representatives from neighbouring GCC. Not good for bah methinks.
So what will happen to people on a long transit or a misconnection who require hotel accomodation.. Will they be refused entry? And if given entry, that might defeat the purpose mentioned above?

Manipulative skills by Bahrainis I see...I don't believe the uprising has much to do with it.They just want other countries to provide special privileges fo rthe Maroon pasport holders.
But that should hit Gulf Air like a ton of bricks that is for sure <\3
