Bahrain International Airport

Bahrain International Airport is a key hub airport in the region, providing a gateway to the Northern Gulf. The airport is a major hub for both Gulf Air and Bahrain Air operating 460 & 136 flights respectively. Together they account for 56% of the total weekly operations & 1056 at the airport. 39 other international airlines including British Airways, Cathay Pacific, KLM and Lufthansa operate a total of 460 services per week to a total of 60 destinations.

In 2008, The Airport witnessed a tremendous growth of 20% accounting for 8.9 million passengers while aircraft movement also increased by 11% to 81,789. However Cargo tonnage had no increase 350, 000 tonnes.

In addition to being the fastest growing cargo hub in the region with a number of international carriers such as Britsh Airway Cargo, Air France Cargo and Lufthansa Cargo together with established operators such as MartinAir, the airport is both the Middle East Regional Distribution Centre and a designated “super-hub” for DHL’s worldwide network whose services not only include significant operations to support the reconstruction of Afghanistan and Iraq but also a major regional hub for distribution by air and surface including transcauseway trucking services to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. Over 3 million tonnes of cargo crosses the causeway annually.

Terminal facilities are under constant review and improvement. Recent developments include a unique separate First and Business Class Check-In Lounge providing specialized services for premium passengers with discrete check-in and immigration facilities and direct access to the Departures Lounge. A new award winning 1,000 m² First and Business Class Lounge was also opened for Gulf Air. Located on an upper level overlooking the main apron , the lounge offers an exclusive concept of waiter service ,a separate family room and electronic video games room for children. A further two new high tech airline lounges 200 m² and 700 m² in size respectively(double the size of existing lounges) were opened in 2005. The first for Cathay Pacific and a new Dilmun Lounge( for other airlines handled by Bahrain Airport Services) which include the latest wi-fi technology permitting free internet access. Our new Arrivals Immigration facilities and streamlined processing now enables large numbers of visitors ( either individually or in groups) to be handled without delay or congestion as has been successfully demonstrated for the annual Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix event.Top quality duty free shopping is available both on arrival in an expanded shop complementing the award winning unique shopping mall in the Departures Lounge. New car parks have been recently constructed to cater specifically for the needs of our long term “frequent flyer” passengers and we are looking to provide further improved services for them including shaded parking and valet services.

An airport is a dynamic environment and our objective is to continue to provide both our passengers and our partner airlines with the very latest up-to-date facilities and above all a warm and friendly and professional service by our Bahraini staff, something which we are justifiably proud of. Our airport is both a shop & window to the world and the first and last impression a visitor has to our country. We believe therefore that the provision of these high quality facilities coupled with high standards of service and competitive pricing make our airport both an attractive hub and gateway. This has been recognised by major carriers such as British Airways and Cathay Pacific in awarding us “best airport” honours on their respective networks.

Gold City
Barter for bangles at Bahrain's glittering Gold City in central Manama, a collection of gold shops that will bedazzle even the most jaded of travellers to the Middle East.

Bahrain or Bahrein, officially Kingdom of Bahrain, constitutional monarchy (1999 est. pop. 666,400), 266 sq mi (689 sq km), an archipelago in the Persian Gulf between the Qatar Peninsula and Saudi Arabia. The two main islands are Bahrain (the largest) and Al Muharraq, which are linked to each other and Saudi Arabia by causeway. The capital and chief port is Al Manamah. Flat and sandy, with a few low hills, Bahrain has a hot, humid climate. The economy has been based on oil, and oil revenues have financed modernization projects, particularly in health and education. Oil reserves are expected to be exhausted in the near future, however, and other industries such as shipyards and aluminum smelting have been established. Bahrain is an important financial center and the site of a major U.S. navy base. The majority of the population are Muslim Arab Bahrainis, but other Arabs and Iranians, Indians, and other Asians make up over 35% of the inhabitants. About 75% of the population are Shiite Muslims; most of the rest are Sunnis. Arabic is the official language, but English, Farsi, and Urdu are also spoken.

History
Anciently known as Dilmun, the island was known to the Greeks as Tylos. Ruled by Portugal (16th cent.) and Persia (intermittently from 1603, and long claimed by Iran), Bahrain became a sheikhdom in 1783 and a British-protected state in 1861. Independence was declared in 1971. A constitution, adopted in 1973, limited the sheikh's powers and established an elected national assembly, but in 1975 the sheikh suspended the constitution and dissolved the national assembly. Bahrain established closer ties with other Persian Gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia, in the early 1980s, and Bahraini territory was used by coalition forces during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Since late 1994, Bahrain's Shiites, many of whom live in poverty, have staged demonstrations demanding better living conditions and the return of an elected parliament. Sheikh Isa bin Salman al-Khalifa, who had ruled since 1961, died in 1999; he was succeeded by his son, Sheikh Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa. A new national charter, establishing a constitutional monarchy, was approved in 2001, and Bahrain was proclaimed a kingdom in 2002. Elections to the lower house of the national assembly were held in Oct. 2002; they marked the first time that women in a Arab Persian Gulf monarchy could vote or run for national office.



In 1783, the al-Khalifa family captured Bahrain from the Persians. In order to secure these holdings, it entered into a series of treaties with the UK during the 19th century that made Bahrain a British protectorate. The archipelago attained its independence in 1971. Bahrain's small size and central location among Persian Gulf countries require it to play a delicate balancing act in foreign affairs among its larger neighbors. Facing declining oil reserves, Bahrain has turned to petroleum processing and refining and has transformed itself into an international banking center. King HAMAD bin Isa al-Khalifa, after coming to power in 1999, pushed economic and political reforms to improve relations with the Shia community. Shia political societies participated in 2006 parliamentary and municipal elections. Al Wifaq, the largest Shia political society, won the largest number of seats in the elected chamber of the legislature. However, Shia discontent has resurfaced in recent years with street demonstrations and occasional low-level violence.
With its highly developed communication and transport facilities, Bahrain is home to numerous multinational firms with business in the Gulf. Petroleum production and refining account for over 60% of Bahrain's export receipts, over 70% of government revenues, and 11% of GDP (exclusive of allied industries), underpinning Bahrain's strong economic growth in recent years. Aluminum is Bahrain's second major export after oil. Other major segments of Bahrain's economy are the financial and construction sectors. Bahrain is focused on Islamic banking and is competing on an international scale with Malaysia as a worldwide banking center. Bahrain is actively pursuing the diversification and privatization of its economy to reduce the country's dependence on oil. As part of this effort, in August 2006 Bahrain and the US implemented a Free Trade Agreement (FTA), the first FTA between the US and a Gulf state. Continued strong growth hinges on Bahrain's ability to acquire new natural gas supplies as feedstock to support its expanding petrochemical and aluminum industries. Unemployment, especially among the young, and the depletion of oil and underground water resources are long-term economic problems. The global financial crisis is likely to result in slower economic growth for Bahrain during 2009 as tight international credit and a slowing global economy cause funding for many non-oil projects to dry up. Lower oil prices may also cause Bahrain's budget to slip back into deficit.
