The airline’s board made the directive at a meeting on Thursday which also included the need to study the organisational structure of the airline, local media reported.

The decision is understood to affect contracts of “less than 100” Bahraini and expatriate staff which were ended as part of a restructuring plan to offset annual financial losses.

Last year, the airline appointed a new board of directors for a three-year term to support the management team in implementing its business strategy.
