Commenting on news of the re-launch Mr. Ahmed Janahi, Gulf Air A/Chief Commercial Officer said: “We are pleased to re-connect Dhaka with Bahrain – boosting the significant commercial opportunity that exists for businessmen from both Bahrain and the Bangladeshi capital while facilitating the movement of Bangladeshi nationals. This is a promising development in 2016 as we respond to strong passenger demand coupled with promising economic signs in Bangladesh. We feel it is just the right time for us to return and anticipate this new route will be a success for our passenger operations.”
