Bahrain Airport Company (BAC), the operator of Bahrain International Airport (BIA), has taken a significant step towards enhancing its airport operations by partnering with The Arabian Petroleum Supply Company (APSCO), a leading name in the Middle East’s petroleum industry. This strategic agreement, signed at the Awal Private Terminal, marks a pivotal moment for BIA, as APSCO becomes the second into-plane service provider, bringing its extensive expertise in aviation fuel services to the airport.
This collaboration underlines BAC’s unwavering commitment to operational excellence, ensuring reliable and efficient fuel services that benefit both the airport’s performance and the passenger experience.
Mohamed Yousif AlBinfalah, Chief Executive Officer of Bahrain Airport Company, highlighted the significance of this partnership: “This strategic partnership with APSCO marks a significant step forward in our commitment to enhancing BIA’s aviation fueling service offerings. By expanding our fuel service capacity and efficiency, we are further solidifying BIA’s position as a world-class airport with alternative service providers and enhancing its attractiveness to global airlines.”
Mohammed Ali Ibrahim Alireza, Managing Director of APSCO, echoed this sentiment, expressing pride in the partnership: “We’re proud to partner with Bahrain Airport Company. With over 60 years of experience in energy solutions and a focus on aviation fuels, we’re well-equipped to support BIA’s commitment to operational excellence. Our long history in aviation fueling services underlines our capacity to continually innovate and adapt to our customers’ needs. By striving to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and harness the latest technologies, APSCO aims to provide top-tier services at airports.”
This strategic alliance aligns perfectly with BAC’s vision to propel the growth of Bahrain’s aviation sector, attracting more airlines and passengers to the Kingdom. APSCO, with its impressive management of 22 depots across various airports in Saudi Arabia, is well-positioned to ensure seamless fuel operations for both commercial and private aircraft at Bahrain International Airport. This partnership promises a bright future for BIA, solidifying its reputation as a thriving hub for international travel.
