Press release: 28 January 2021
Operations at Bahrain International Airport’s new Passenger Terminal begin today, 28 January 2021, as part of an ambitious expansion of the airport. The new airport was originally due to open last March, but the inauguration was delayed due to the global coronavirus pandemic.
The project, one of the hugest in Bahrain, features a passenger terminal, which is four times larger than the existing facility. The new terminal can accommodate up to 14 million passengers annually. Other facilities include a complex of central utilities, car parks, an expansive due-free shopping area, two reception halls, an aviation building serving private jet owners, an aircraft refuelling field and a building for rescue and firefighting services.
Gulf Air, Bahrain's national carrier, has officially commenced operations from the new terminal building.
