Bahrain International Airport (BIA), operated and managed by Bahrain Airport Company (BAC), has been certified with the top Five-Star Covid-19 Airport Safety Rating for achieving the highest standard of hygiene and safety protocols to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
It places BIA in the top five per cent of airports worldwide for cleanliness and hygiene.
The rating was awarded to BIA following a detailed audit of Covid-19 safety standards conducted by international air transport rating organisation Skytrax this month.
This safety accreditation is regarded as a global benchmark for defining safe travel assurance for customers and a top recognition of the effectiveness of the safety measures introduced by BIA to protect their customers and staff against the spread of the virus.
The audit assessed 175 different safety protocols related specifically to the Covid-19 pandemic that serve to reduce risk and enhance customer and staff well-being.
The inspections examined the implementation of health, hygiene, and safety measures in accordance with the recommendations of the ICAO Council’s Aviation Recovery Task Force, in addition to requirements from the Bahrain government.
BAC chief executive Mohamed Yousif Al Binfalah said: “We are proud to obtain this five-star rating which recognises the immense efforts made by our team on a daily basis to ensure our customers travel with complete peace of mind.
We dedicate this award to the government of Bahrain, which has taken proactive measures since the start of the pandemic to protect public health and safety, as well as to the frontline healthcare workers, who have worked tirelessly to keep the people of Bahrain safe.”
