According to Selcuk Bugai, for 1.5 months since the beginning of sales of tours to Gambia the tour operator sold more than 30% of seats on the first flight, which starts on October 1. This, concluded Mr. Bugai, allows us to hope for the demand for volume of the flight program. Recall, the charter chain of Coral Travel to Gambia has a frequency of 11 nights. The program, according to plans, will be performed by Royal Flight airline till the end of March. The charter flights from Moscow to Bahrain will be performed by Ural Airlines on Mondays and Fridays from October 29, 2018 till May 13, 2019.
