Bahrain is banning travellers from three additional destinations from entering the kingdom.

As of Thursday, Bahrain will add Georgia, Ukraine and Malawi to its red list for travel.

This means entry is prohibited to anyone flying to the kingdom from these destinations. However, some exemptions are in place for citizens and residency holders.

Bahrain's Civil Aviation Affairs has updated the country's travel red list in line with government directives. The expansion means there are now 25 destinations on the list from where travel is suspended.

Passengers arriving from, or who have transited through, any of the destinations on the red list in the preceding 14 days cannot enter Bahrain, unless they are Bahraini residents or GCC citizens.

Bahrain has recently had its own red list ranking from UK authorities upgraded.

Along with the UAE, Qatar and India, the kingdom was moved to the UKs amber list on August 8, meaning that travellers flying from Bahrain to Britain no longer need to quarantine in a hotel.

Self-quarantine is still necessary for 10 days for most travellers from Bahrain, as the UK does not currently recognise vaccines issued outside of the UK, Europe and the US.

Passengers flying to and staying in England can use the governments test-to-release system to end their quarantine after receiving a negative result from an additional PCR test taken on day five.

To coincide with Bahrains move to the UK's amber list, Gulf Air the national airline of the kingdom resumed direct flights from Manama to London Heathrow. The airline has been flying to the UK capital for more than 50 years.

Commenting on restoring double daily passenger flights to London, Gulf Airs acting chief executive Capt Waleed Al Alwai said: London is one of our main destinations in western Europe and weve been connecting both kingdoms since 1970. It has also been a destination that we maintained scheduled operations to throughout 2020.

Gulf Air is known for its morning and night flights to and from London and were happy to bring these back to offer more flexibility and convenience to our passengers.
