Get ready for the re-launch of Tahini Thursdays, a Gulf shuttle experience connecting Bahrain (OBBI) and Dubai (OMDB).


On Thursday, 8 January from 1600–1900, pilots are invited to take part in an evening of high-traffic regional flying with full ATC coverage across Bahrain, UAE, and the surrounding FIRs.


Whether you prefer multiple short hops or a single featured sector, this route offers an excellent balance of oceanic coordination, terminal procedures, and busy approach sequencing — perfect for both seasoned network regulars and newcomers alike.


This marks the first edition of Tahini Thursdays, which will continue as a bi-weekly recurring event following its conclusion. Fire up your flight deck, plan your route across the Arabian Gulf, and join us for an exciting evening of professional, immersive VATSIM flying.
