Gulf Air Group Holding Company, founded in 2010 to consolidate the aviation assets of Mumtalakat, Bahrain’s sovereign wealth fund, has increased its shareholding in Bahrain Airport Services (BAS) to 44%.

The move coincides with a concession agreement that will see BAS continue its role at Bahrain Int’l Airport’s new passenger terminal until 2034. This complements a previous contract signed during the 2018 Bahrain International Airshow. The terminal is due to open in the first quarter of 2020.
