Bahrain International Airshow 2024

In the first issue of SHOW BUSINESS our team reports from the Manama Air Power Symposium.

The Commander of the Royal Bahraini Air Force stressed the importance of countries in the region deploying advanced defence systems to counter drones, tactical ballistic missiles, and other threats.

The show features a recording-breaking array of 125 aircraft on display, including the first appearance of the USAF B-52 long-range bomber at a Middle East air show.

The kingdom’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad al Khalifa formally opened the event, showing particularly interest in the USAF’s formidable B-52H long-range bomber.

The second issue of SHOW BUSINESS featured news from across the show with Embraer, Bahraini air cargo operator Texel Air, Gulfstream, Aloula Aviation, Valo Aviation and C5 Capital all covered.

Two B-52s performed overflights of the showground demonstrating a show of force in the region by the USAF.

The third issue of SHOW BUSINESS leads with a story on Bahrain’s Amal AlBinali helping shape the kingdom’s next generation of aerospace innovators in her role as chief of strategic planning at the National Space Science Agency.

Also featured are deals involving Bahrain Airport Company, Gulf Air Group, Joramco, Rayan Aviation and DHL signed at the show.

In all, it was a show well done.
