Bahrain Air won’t delay launch of Egypt services
Bahrain Air announced it has no plans to postpone the launch of services to Egypt, despite political turmoil disrupting the country and deterring tourists (TradeArabia News Service, 06-Feb-2011). The airline plans to launch twice-weekly Manama-Sharm el Sheikh via Alexandria/Borg el Arab services from 03-Mar-2011 - see Route Changes Table for more information.
