Bahrain Air

Bahrain Air (Arabic: طيران البحرين‎) was an airline of the Kingdom of Bahrain, headquartered in the Mohamed Centre in Muharraq. Its main base was Bahrain International Airport. The airline flew to 16 destinations in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. In earlier statements the airline planned to increase its destinations to 23 cities by 2009 and up to 25 cities by 2010. Prior to its voluntary liquidation in 2013, Bahrain Air flew to 17 destinations (flights to Alexandria were seasonal). The airline declared bankruptcy on 12 February 2013, citing financial difficulties.

Bahrain Air started operations on 1 February 2008 as a low cost airline but changed its operating model to full service by early 2010. The inaugural flight occurred on the 3rd of February 2008, from Bahrain to Dubai. The airline used a new Airbus A320 fleet, with 12 seats in business and 150 in economy. The airline had its own in-flight magazine, called Reesha.

Famous quotes containing the word air:

    Make me a willow cabin at your gate,
    And call upon my soul within the house;
    Write loyal cantons of contemned love,
    And sing them loud even in the dead of night;
    Halloo your name to the reverberate hills,
    And make the babbling gossip of the air
    Cry out “Olivia!” O, you should not rest
    Between the elements of air and earth
    But you should pity me.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
