Bahrain's value airline - Bahrain Air - said yesterday that it is to press ahead with its proposed launch of flights to Egypt despite the turmoil currently affecting the North African country.

Bahrain's Gulf Daily News reported that the airline is still "waiting and watching", but quoted security, corporate affairs and government relations senior manager Abdul Aziz Yosuf Al Shaer as saying he expected the flights to go ahead as scheduled.
"We have prepared for the launch on March 3 and, as things stand now, are all set to go," he told the GDN.
The airline is planning two flights a week, one on Monday and another on Thursday, to and from the resort.
Bahrain Air already has an active route to Alexandria. "There is a tremendous potential and huge opportunity for growth," Al Shaer said. "We are sure the situation will become normal very soon and tourists will start flocking to Cairo and other parts of Egypt as usual."
Gulf Air said yestyerday that all of its flights between Bahrain and Egypt were operating normally - apart from some arrival and departure time changes to comply with the curfews in effect in the country.

Major airlines begin move to Borg Al Arab for Alexandria flights
Qatar Airways is to transfer its Alexandria flights to the city's now showcase Borg El Arab Airport, effective March 27.
The Doha-based carrier is among a number of international airlines moving flights from the El-Nozha International Airport to Borg El Arab Airport forwhat it describes as "operational reasons."
The old city airport is to close for several years and Egyptian Airports are beginning to work with opertators to make the transition to the new airport - which will also be closer to the new city development, known as New Alexandria
The new airport is located approximately 50 kilometres from Alexandria city centre. The airport consists of a new passenger building and an administration building. The passenger terminal is designed in the shape of a boat and consists of three floors. It was opened late last year.
Qatar Airways flies daily non-stop from its Doha hub to Alexandria. Today the airline said that all scheduled timings for the Alexandria flights remain the same. The carrier also flies to Cairo and Luxor.

EgyptAir lease deal just one option says chairman.
Posted on 25 February 2011 in Air Transport
EgyptAir says suggestions that it may be leasing up to 25% of its new fleet in order to stave off losses came from unofficial leaks from within the company and was just one of the options that the airline was considering.
Chairman Hussein Massoud said in a statement today: " Last week some news spread in the international media about EGYPTAIR intention to lease out some aircraft. EGYPTAIR would like to confirm that no press release was issued from EgyptAir in that regard. However, an internal communication with EgyptAir staff that was addressing possible measures to alleviate the impact of the drop in passenger traffic during the peak of the crisis, referred to the possibility of offering any excess capacity for short term ACMI lease..
"Apparently, this internal communication leaked out by a way or another to the media and was erroneously treated as an official release .
"Within the peak of the crisis , EgyptAir had diligently performed appropriate adjustments to the schedule that were required to enhance the efficiency of the network through altering frequencies and retiming.
"EgyptAir assures its valued customers and stakeholders of the commitment to provide the highest standards of service and to meet their expectations, " he said.
The airline also conffirmed today that it has launched a revised flight schedule for the remaining weeks of the winter season up to 26th March 2011. During the peak of the political crisis in Egypt and the associated curfew which was imposed , EgyptAir
had reduced offered capacity in order to match with the demand of that period. Presently EGYPTAIR is preparing for the release of a limited modification to the Summer Schedule. The revised schedule will feature a gradual growth in volume of operations over the summer season reaching normal volume towards the end of the season.
