Air India offers low cost services to Bahrain

Dubai, May 25 (UNI) Air India Express, Air India's low-budget carrier would start services from India to Bahrain in October, Air India's Regional Director for Gulf, West Asia and Africa Sanjeev Talwar said.

The fares would be 25 to 30 per cent cheaper than the normal Air India flight and could be booked online.

''We planned to include Bahrain and Doha in April this year, but it had to be postponed due to the shortage of aircraft,'' Mr Talwar told the Gulf Daily News.

Air India Express currently operates from Kerala and Mumbai to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain, Muscat and Salalah.

Earlier booking would mean cheaper fares, Mr Talwar added.
