The planned MRO facility will not only support the operational needs of Rayan Air but also offer state-of-the-art services to other airlines. With the global aviation industry increasingly emphasizing efficiency and sustainability, BAC’s collaboration with Rayan Air marks a significant step towards adopting modern technologies and eco-friendly practices in aircraft maintenance. This facility is expected to cater to a diverse fleet, encompassing both commercial and cargo aircraft.
This agreement underscores Bahrain’s strategic vision to elevate its aviation sector and attract global aviation players. The MRO sector, in particular, has gained prominence due to its potential for high-value job creation and its role in ensuring operational reliability for airlines. By committing to this project, Bahrain aims to compete with regional heavyweights in offering comprehensive aviation solutions.
This development aligns with similar projects in the region, including Gulf Air's recent announcement to establish its own MRO facility at BIA. Gulf Air's project, spanning over 20,000 square meters, is set to include advanced temperature-controlled hangars and workshops designed to meet international standards. These complementary initiatives indicate a broader strategy to position Bahrain as a leader in aviation maintenance and innovation.
