The Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) has announced that the outer curb side of the arrivals area of the Bahrain International Airport (BIA) will be closed for passengers, starting from April 10 onwards, as part of ongoing improvement works.

In a statement, BAC said that the upgrade work is being carried out as part of its efforts to enhance the passenger experience at BIA and make the journey experience smoother and easier.

During this period, visitors will only be able to access the inner curb of the arrival area for pickups and drop-offs, it added.

In December 2021, bids were opened for a tender related to demolition works of the old terminal building at Bahrain International Airport, as part of the ongoing modernisation programme. That project’s scope of works included the demolishment of the remaining portion of the existing terminal building (located west of the new passenger terminal building), along with all associated facilities, in order to allow for the future development of the area, in line with the modernisation programme.
