Kuwait’s newest airline, Wataniya Airways, celebrated the launch of daily flights to Bahrain with the inaugural flight landing in the kingdom on August 27.

Wataniya Airways’ arrival in Bahrain was met with a ceremonious greeting from Bahrain International Airport’s administrators, Bahrain’s Deputy CEO, Ayman Zainal, members of the media as well as a water jet welcome.

Bahrain is the first GCC country that Wataniya Airways has touched down in since the airline’s launch in July of this year.

Wataniya Airways vice chairman Riyad Al Saeed said: "We are delighted about our newly added destination, Bahrain, to which Wataniya will fly daily at competitive fares, and we also have plans to launch further services in the future."

Operating from Kuwait International Airport, Wataniya Airways currently flies to four destinations: Tbilisi, Sarajevo, Baku and now, Bahrain with its two Airbus aircrafts. - TradeArabia News Service
