Malaga Airport continues to add attractive destinations for tourists on the Costa del Sol and for locals who want to visit cities further afield. Direct flights to Bahrain and Abu Dhabi will begin this weekend.

Connections from Malaga to the first of these destinations will begin on Saturday, June 17, with the first Gulf Air flight arriving from the Kingdom of Bahrain on Friday. Azerbaijan Airlines’ first flight to the capital of the United Arab Emirates will depart Malaga on Sunday, June 18 at 10:35 am.

Gulf Air, Bahrain’s national carrier, is increasing its operations from two to three weekly flights this peak season. Flights will depart from Costa del Sol airport on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays until September 29th.

Today’s first flight from Bahrain is fully booked, while the first flight from Malaga is almost empty, according to travel agencies consulted. “The increase in business is a response to continued growth in demand between the Costa del Sol and the Middle East, as well as selected destinations in Asia and the Indian Ocean,” the company said.
