I remember the news few months ago about Bahrain Air doubling their operating capita from 10 to 20 million BHD. The news was backed by announcements from the company about the strong performance and a subsequent expansion plan!
Is it now all turning to be crap talk? Or just a short-lived success?!

So does anyone have the bottom line on this operation? Are they struggling or just going through growing pains? Are they hiring and if so, what are they offering for DECs? I know very little about them so any information would be interesting. Thanks.

Bahrain Air
I keep seeing a Bahrain Air aircraft parked across the other side of the runway near the police station.
I thought that the low cost model only works if you have high utilisation so why would they have a AC parked in the long term park for days on end?

Che, I thought it was strange as well. I mean come on, bragging about getting more aircraft & then leasing them out. Maybe things are not going as well as the are trying to make us believe. But, then again Mr I Al H does have a bit of an ego problem-he claims that he personally is responsible for Air Arabia's success!!!
