The national carrier of Bahrain, Bahrain Air, started its daily non-stop flight operations on the Mumbai – Bahrain route effective from yesterday. Mumbai being the third destination, the airline is keen on expanding its route network in the country in the coming years. Bart Schellens, Director – Commercial Operations, Bahrain Air said, “Starting non-stop services from Mumbai, the largest financial hub of India to Bahrain, is part of our strategic outlook for the Indian market and we are bullish about the growth prospects here. Along with the labour traffic (80 per cent), we are also receiving increased response from business, tourists and religious segment (20 per cent) from India.” The airline is considering launching a loyalty programme soon to further fuel the growth of load factors. Schellens informed that the airline is operating A319 on Mumbai – Bahrain route as of now. “If required, we will start operating A320 in future on this route,” added Schellens.
