One airshow after another


Bahrain International Airshow (Bias) has set its sights high for industry-wide growth and development ahead of its 2024 edition, following the airshow in Le Bourget, France.

 

Bahrain is quickly establishing itself as a major cargo centre within the region. A new 25,000 sqm ‘Cargo Express Village’ has been built at BIA to facilitate the efficient handling of cargo, featuring a bonded logistical facility and an admin building concept, which is being developed in three phases.

 

Earlier this year, the Royal Bahrain Air Force (RBAF), as part of the Bahrain Defence Force’s (BDF), expanded its fleet of aircraft, with the delivery of the first "F-16 Block 70" fighter jet from Lockheed Martin.

 

RBAF also acquired three Bell 505 helicopters from Bell Textron to join the air force’s existing group of Bell 212 and multiple generations of AH-1 attack helicopters. (cj)
