MANAMA: Bahrain Air has opened its sales and ticketing office at the Lulu Hypermarket in Riffa.

The outlet was opened by the Bahrain Air managing director Ibrahim Al Hamer in the presence of other airline officials and guests.

Mr Al Hamer said the airline, now that it had also launched flights to Iraq, is proving to be popular with Bahrain's travelling public.

"This new outlet will ensure that our customers will have an opportunity to get the best of facilities at one of Bahrain's most popular shopping destinations.

The airline had earlier started operations to the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on September 11 and later launched services to Najaf. It flies to Baghdad every Friday and Wednesday and to Najaf on all other days of the week.
