New $1.1bn terminal at Bahrain International Airport will be open in March, the Gulf nation’s prince has said.
There is no possibility of mistakes with an airport and we will be operational in the first quarter of next year after all checks are complete,” the crown prince told Gulf Daily News, a Bahraini newspaper.
The terminal had originally been slated to open this December, in time for Bahrain’s national day. However, the crown prince said additional safety checks were needed.
Once open, the new terminal will have around 104 check-in counters, 36 passport control booths, and 24 security screening points. At 207,000 square meters in size, it will roughly quadruple Bahrain International Airport’s current terminal operations. The new, expanded airport will have the capacity for handling around 14 million passengers per year.
