I always afraid travelling through sea. My dad & Uncle travelled through sea and they told me its takes more then 7 days to reach its destination and this means of transportation will make u feel too much dizzy :rotato: resulting continuesly vomiting. To prevent urself from vomiting u hav to eat all the time. I guess its mean gain extra weight :cb:
Anyhow when i came here that time facilities of air transportation (airport) was built which today taken shape as International Airport. The first scheduled commercial airliner to arrive in Bahrain, in 1932, was a flight from London to Delhi operated on a Handley Page H.P.42 (The Handley Page H.P.42 and H.P.45 were British four-engine long-range biplane airliners designed to a 1928) aircraft named “Hannibal.” The H.P.42 carried only 24 passengers, and the flight from London had taken several days of flying at speeds of 100 miles per hour. Through this regularly scheduled service, Bahrain became established as the Persian Gulf’s first international airport.
During World War II, the airport was used by the United States Army Air Force Air Transport Command Central African Wing, being designated as Station # 13. It functioned as a stopover en-route to Abadan Airport, Iran or Sharjah Airport, in present day UAE on the Karachi-Cairo route. From the end of World War II until Bahrain’s independence in December 1971, the Royal Air Force maintained a military installation at the airfield known as RAF Muharraq. The majority of these facilities were later acquired by the Bahraini flag carrier airline, Gulf Air, while a small portion continues to be utilized by the U.S. Navy as Aviation Support Unit (ASU) Bahrain.
i guess this changes /development is the best, perhaps for me as i still don’t like sea transportation. :nahi:
