MANAMA: Texel Air, a private airline based in Bahrain, has taken delivery of its first Boeing 737-700 FlexCombi aircraft.

The multi-purpose plane can be configured in seven different ways in a 48-hour time frame.

In addition to cargo, the aircraft can carry up to 24 people and also offer medical evacuation with the option to install two specialty beds.

Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Kamal Ahmed was present alongside the management and board members of the airline for the aircraft’s arrival at Bahrain International Airport.

“The new aircraft presents a brand new offering and we are very proud that Bahrain is the launchpad for this. It is an example of how Bahrain is not only a good place to establish a business, but also to grow it successfully,” said Mr Ahmed.
