Bahrain's national carrier Gulf Air will operate charter flights to Sochi. Flights are scheduled on Mondays on an Airbus A-321 with a capacity of 166 passengers. The flight arrives in Sochi at 20:15 Moscow time, in Manama, the capital of Bahrain, at 21:15. - We are very pleased that in 2024 our strategic direction begins to be implemented, which was planned in terms of the development of the route network even before the pandemic. This is attracting tourism from the Middle East as one of Sochi's target markets," said Alexander Nikonov, Deputy General Director of Aerodynamics LLC. In addition to the summer flight program, questions about Manama-Sochi flights in winter are being worked out. They are also supposed to be made regular so that they become available to Russian citizens who can fly not only to Bahrain, but also with connections to other countries. - Active work on the expansion of the route network has been carried out in the Sochi air harbor since 2022. The Middle East is a priority in international areas. We will continue to work to attract our customers in the Middle East. We have Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar in our projects," said Alexey Komarov, Managing Director of Sochi Airport. Today, flights from Sochi International Airport are operated to 56 domestic and 21 international destinations. Flights are operated by 21 Russian and 10 foreign carriers. According to the results of the first quarter of 2024, Sochi Airport served more than 307 thousand passengers on international routes, which is two percent more than in 2023.
