Bahrain Airways has announced four more flights to Thiruvananthapuram, underlining that Kerala is an important destination for the airline as a large number of Indians living in the Gulf are from the State.
Bahrain Air has announced four flights a week to Thiruvananthapuram with plans to increase it to seven flights a week by the summer.
With the milestone of seven flights a week to Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala will constitute 80 per cent of Bahrain Air’s India capacity, with 17 flights a week operated across Kochi, Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram.
The airline’s Managing Director, Captain Ibrahim Al Hamer, said the Indian sub-continent remains a key focus area for Bahrain Air and Kerala continues to be an important destination.
“Currently, there are about 3.5 lakh Keralites in Bahrain and another 4 lakh in Saudi Arabia.
This new route to Thiruvananthapuram once again reiterates our commitment to improve our services and meet the needs of our customers within the region,” he said.
“We are positive for the future and traffic rights permitting, we will continue to increase flights to India as we take more aircrafts in the future,” he added.
