4 ENABLING BUSINESS The Bahrain International Airshow (BIAS) held in January 2016, was a tremendous success, not only for the Kingdom of Bahrain but also for the participating exhibitors, delegations and visitors. Spurred by the show s growing contribution to the regional aviation industry, the next Bahrain International Airshow in 2018 will change from its traditional slot in January to November to meet demands of the show s participants. With His Majesty the King s ongoing patronage, it is a privilege for me to be personally supporting the event once more and, alongside the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications and the Royal Bahraini Air Force, and in association with Farnborough International, I am pleased to announce that we are working on further enhancing our offering to the global aviation community by providing ever more business and networking opportunities at the 2018 show. Strong links have been forged with a number of international aerospace organisations who, like so many other global businesses, see Bahrain as a natural gateway to the Middle East. Bahrain s own investment in aviation is growing rapidly; from aircraft to training and maintenance to airport infrastructure, we continue to embrace the economic advantages of this rapidly growing industry. We hope that you will also consider leveraging the vast opportunities available in the Gulf region by being part of our Airshow. I very much look forward to welcoming you to Bahrain in HH Shaikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Khalifa Chairman of BIAS Supreme Organising Committee Personal Representative of His Majesty the King PAGE 04

5 FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH Following the unprecedented growth witnessed at the Bahrain International Airshow 2016, the 2018 show marks an important milestone for Bahrain, with the 2018 show now set to take place on the 14-16th November in order to facilitate the show s continued growth and to meet demands of its international participants for this truly unique event. The Middle East civil aerospace market is growing at an exponential rate as evidenced by the number of aviation infrastructure projects in the region including Bahrain s Airport Modernization Program, which we hope will be completed by July This large-scale project aims at elevating the facilities, infrastructure, and services at the Bahrain International Airport, increasing its capacity in line with the Kingdom s long-standing position as a leading aviation hub. The success achieved at BIAS 2016, which hosted 139 participating companies, around 100 aircraft and international delegations from 34 countries (civil and military); resulting in US$9bn worth of deals struck over the show s three days with the most prominent being Gulf Air s announcement of restructured orders of 45 aircraft with Boeing and Airbus. Our show s unique location and bespoke facilities including direct chalet and apron front positioning, aircraft demonstrations, exhibition feature hall, and customer test-flights will all remain key features. We are extremely excited to see the fifth edition of the Bahrain International Airshow in 2018 where we are set to once again provide a platform for growing your business in the Middle East region.
