Bahrain Air (Arabic: طيران البحرين) is the second flag carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain, headquartered in the Mohamed Centre in Muharraq.[1][2] Its main base is Bahrain International Airport. The airline flies to 16 destinations in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia. The airline planned to increase its destinations to 23 cities by 2009 and up to 25 cities by 2010.[citation needed]
Bahrain Air started operations on 1 February 2008 as a low cost airline but changed its operating model to full service by early 2010.[3] The airline uses a modern Airbus A320 fleet, with 12 seats in business and 150 in economy.[4]
Managing director Ibrahim Al Hamer said the plan[when?] was to increase the number of destinations to 25 in the next three years.[citation needed]
