Air Transport

Middle Eastern carrier Bahrain Air is to open two new routes, serving Abu Dhabi and the Indian city of Kozhikode.

The airline's network expansion follows its introduction of a third Airbus A320-family aircraft.

Bahrain Air is to begin operating three times per week to Kozhikode from 16 March next year. It will be the carrier's second Indian route after Kochi.

Services to the United Arab Emirates' capital, Abu Dhabi, will begin on 23 March. The airline will serve the city eight times per week.

Bahrain Air already operates to Dubai. The two new routes will give the carrier 16 destinations.
