MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Bahrain's state news agency says the
Bahrain International Airshow opened to announcements of more than $3
billion in deals.
The Gulf kingdom's international airport signed a nearly $3.2 billion
agreement with Chinese company Shenzhen CIMC TianDa for construction of
seven new commuter bridges between boarding gates and planes.
Bahrain's national carrier Gulf Air says it also signed an agreement
Thursday with Rolls-Royce TotalCare to support its fleet of six
wide-body twin-engine Airbus A330s.
The three-day airshow runs through Saturday.
However, the country's political turmoil loomed in the background of the
airshow's flying display as protesters burnt tires, sending billowing
plumes of black smoke into the sky.
Shiite protesters have been holding near-daily protests for almost three
years demanding greater equality from Bahrain's Sunni monarchy.
