MUHARRAQ, BAHRAIN – Batelco will operate a retail outlet at Bahrain International Airport’s (BIA) new Passenger Terminal Building, offering international visitors a range of products and services to keep them connected in the Kingdom, BIA’s operator and managing body Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) announced. BAC Chief Executive Officer, Mohamed Yousif Al Binfalah signed the five-year concession agreement alongside Batelco's Enterprise General Manager, Abderrahmane Mounir, in the presence of His Excellency the Minister of Transportation & Telecommunications and BAC Chairman, Eng. Kamal bin Ahmed Mohammed and Batelco Chairman Shaikh Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Khalifa.
Mr. Al Binfalah said: “At BAC, we understand how important it is for international visitors to stay connected to their work and loved ones while away from home. By partnering with Batelco at the new terminal, we aim to ensure this process is as quick and convenient as possible. We look forward to working with Batelco and ensuring that visitors enjoy a hassle-free airport experience replete with comfort, connections, and character.”
Upon landing, the first thing many passengers do is turn on their mobiles phones, which can result in costly roaming charges. Passengers can avoid such fees by purchasing a local pre-paid SIM card at the Arrivals Area, enabling them to enjoy swift and seamless coverage from the moment they arrive in the Kingdom.
Batelco Enterprise General Manager, Abderrahmane Mounir said: “Batelco is delighted to enter into this agreement with BAC to deliver our retail services at the new terminal and is ready to serve airport tenants and passengers around the clock, 7 days a week. We look forward to supporting the efforts of BAC in providing high- quality services to upgrade all aspects of the travel experience in the new facility. Additionally, Batelco is proud to provide high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity and superior quality services for all visitors to the airport.”
Alongside Batelco, Zain Bahrain and STC will also operate retail outlets and offer their services at the new terminal, ensuring broader and faster mobile coverage for travellers and tenants.
