Bahrain-India route: Indian hits new high

Manama: Indian (formerly Indian Airlines) carried more than 45,000 passengers between Bahrain and points in India last year, it was revealed yesterday.
"This is in comparison to around 41,000 the previous year," said Bahrain area manager Niranjan Kumar.
"We also achieved a seat factor of 99 per cent last year, compared with 83pc in 2005.
"This also translated to Indian carrying an average of 62 passengers per day last year compared with 56 passengers per day the previous year."
He said the outgoing passengers from Bahrain also registered an increase, with 22,515 passengers travelling between Bahrain and points in India, a growth of 10pc over the 2005 figure of 20,264 passengers.
Mr Kumar said this was managed by the airline in spite of stiff competition from other carriers who have since increased their operations between Bahrain and points in India.
