Bahrain Air has announced it will offer daily direct flights from Bahrain to Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), India. Service will commence on March 15, 2012.

Flights will depart from Bahrain at 9:25 PM and arrive at Thiruvananthapuram International airport at 4:15 AM. The return flight will depart Thiruvananthapuram at 5:00 AM and arrive at Bahrain International Airport at 7:30 AM.

Bahrain Air CEO, Richard Nuttall, was upbeat and stated “We look forward in boosting our route network to the Indian Sub Continent. Our customers have been telling us that they want Thiruvananthapuram in our network for many months now. This is another step in our route expansion process this year. We have several other destinations in mind, and these will be announced as and when market conditions and approvals allow.”

Starting January 26, 2012, Bahrain Air will resume scheduled flights to Kuwait. This route was temporarily suspended in February 2011.

Bahrain Air will operate 4 flights per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Flights will depart from Bahrain at 8:35 am and depart from Kuwait at 6:55 pm.

“We are delighted to be returning to Kuwait,” said Bahrain Air CEO Richard Nuttall, “Kuwait is an important destination in its own right and at the same time will also support our network beyond Bahrain with convenient connections especially to the Indian subcontinent and Khartoum. Further we will be adding non-stop flights between Kuwait and Beirut strengthening our presence and product in both markets.”
