Why BIA?

The Kingdom of Bahrain is a gateway that connects East and West, with Bahrain International Airport (BIA) long being its open window to the world.

In 1932, the first commercial aircraft arrived in the Kingdom, making Bahrain the first GCC Country to operate a commercial international airport. Since then, BIA has cemented its position as a key aviation hub due to its unrivalled location, aviation advancements, and competitive edge.
