Travel with Prime Jet Services to Bahrain and the Rest of the World

Arranging a private jet charter to Bahrain with Prime Jet Services places one of the Gulf’s most dynamic destinations within effortless reach from Dubai. Bahrain International Airport (BAH/OBBI) has served as the region’s principal aviation gateway since the 1930s, and an ongoing expansion programme will bring its annual capacity to more than 14 million passengers. Whether you are travelling for business, leisure, or a combination of both, Prime Jet Services ensures a seamless experience from departure to arrival.

Bahrain International Airport

Bahrain International Airport — formally Maṭār al-Baḥrayn al-dwalī / مطار البحرين الدولي — handles a mix of commercial and private traffic with equal efficiency. Its key specifications are as follows:

• IATA Code: BAH
• ICAO Code: OBBI
• Runways: 2 (12,979 ft and 8,300 ft)

The airport is well configured for private aviation, with dedicated handling facilities that allow charter passengers to move through arrival and departure formalities swiftly and discreetly. The city centre of Manama lies on the adjacent island, making the airport exceptionally convenient for onward travel.

A Brief History of Aviation in Bahrain

Bahrain’s connection with aviation dates to 1927, when the first aircraft landed on the island — making Bahrain International Airport the oldest in the Gulf. Regular scheduled services began in 1937, though these were suspended during the Second World War before resuming and expanding steadily through the latter half of the twentieth century. The airport has grown considerably since those early decades, adding terminal capacity to keep pace with rising passenger numbers, and its current expansion programme will further cement its status as one of the region’s foremost aviation hubs.
