UK to take part in Bahrain International Airshow

Manama : The United Kingdom (UK)’s Department for International Trade Defence and Security Organisation will participate in Bahrain International Airshow (BIAS 2018). 

The move is part of the increasingly-growing and developing Bahraini-British cooperation ties and the efforts exerted by HH Shaikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Personal Representative of His Majesty the King and President of the High Organising Committee of Bahrain International Airshow.

The show which takes place at Sakhir Airbase from 14 to 16 November 2018 will feature a special area promoting British defence and security products to the Middle East market, alongside BAE Systems and ADS Group which will be hosting a UK Pavilion for SME businesses.

Commenting on the move, Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Kamal Ahmed, who was attending DSEI, said: “We are delighted to see the British Government supporting UK business in Bahrain.”

“Our nations have longstanding ties in aviation, trade, military cooperation and investment, particularly due to the Kingdom’s strategic location, economic readiness and advanced infrastructure and making use of the UK aviation industry’s technological capabilities and aircraft.

“We look forward to seeing many of the capabilities on show here at DSEI exhibiting at BIAS next year,” the Minister said.
