Bahrain Airport Services gets top rating

Manama : Bahrain Airport Services (BAS) announced it has received ISO/IEC 27001:2013 accreditation from the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). 

The achievement specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS) within the context of the organisation. It also certifies specific requirements to be met for the assessment and treatment of information security risks tailored to the needs of the organisation (BAS).

BAS is an ISAGO Accredited Ground Service Provider; IATA’s Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) has been built upon a ‘backbone’ of audit standards applicable to all ground handling companies worldwide, coupled with a uniform set of standards relevant for the specific activities of any ground handler. European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has also accredited BAS with EASA part-145 for Aircraft Line Maintenance and part-147 for BAS Aircraft Engineering Training Centre (BAETC).

Saudi Arabian Airlines and BAS shared a strong Line Maintenance relationship from 2006 to mid 2010 whence the agreement was discontinued to revert to maintenance support with another party. The relationship with Saudi Arabian Airlines and BAS has been renewed by re-establishing a Technical Handling agreement with them in 2017. 

“We would be covering all aspects of Technical Handling with the strict governance of the Maintenance Organisation Exposition which is a formal document describing how an approved maintenance organisation or MRO is structured to achieve delivery of its activity,” said Osama Helmi, Manager Line Maintenance.

“BAS is delighted to partner with international airlines for Technical Handling and we remain dedicated towards strengthening the quality of our processes and procedures to ensure the most efficient on-time-performance,” said Jalal Mohammed Jalal, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Bahrain Airport Services.
