Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) is the operator and managing body of Bahrain International Airport (BIA), the gateway that connects the Kingdom with the world. Tasked with developing the airport's infrastructure, facilities, and commercial offerings, BAC has transformed BIA into the most modern boutique airport in the Gulf. With a strong focus on innovation, efficiency, and culture, BAC's goal is to ensure that BIA stands out as a best-in-class airport that reflects the Kingdom's distinct character and strengthens its position as a financial, cultural, and aviation center in the region. Since assuming the responsibility of managing and operating the airport in 2010, BAC has cemented BIA's reputation as an attractive hub for airlines and passengers. The new Passenger Terminal is the crowning jewel of a massive and comprehensive Airport Modernization Program, which revamps the Kingdom's entire aviation sector, integrating a range of industries into it. BAC has more than 600 employees in a vast number of divisions and departments, where more than 90% are Bahrainis. Bahrain's association with the aviation industry stretches back 100 years and cements the Kingdom's position as a hub for major trade between nations.
