Participating teams have begun landing in the Kingdom as countdown begins for the Bahrain International Airshow (BIAS 2022).
The airshow, which is in its sixth edition, will officially begin tomorrow.
Held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of the Kingdom of Bahrain, and under the supervision of His Highness Shaikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Personal Representative of His Majesty the King and the Chairman of the BIAS’ Supreme Organising Committee, BIAS 2022 is celebrating a decade of distinction with a range of leading features. One hundred and sixty delegations representing 180 plus companies and thirty plus countries will be taking part in the airshow.
Many industry leading contracts are supposed to be signed at the event.
The sixth installment of the show will deliver a dynamic thought-leadership platform as part of its three-day calendar of events, as well as networking and business development opportunities and a one-of-akind exhibition showcasing the latest aircraft, technologies, and innovation from across the global aerospace industry.
The forum portion of the Airshow will take place on days two and three of the event in dedicated theatres in the show’s Exhibition Hall, providing future-focused content and facilitating the exchange of insights and knowledge on the latest trends shaping global aerospace and aviation today.
The show’s forums are designed to specifically serve as a thought exchange platform, where senior aerospace executives from the Gulf region and international companies collaborate to bring issues of mutual interest to the fore.
With an extensive presence by civil and military delegations from the Gulf region and beyond, BIAS 2022 offers an ideal opportunity for access to the region’s key decision makers.
This year’s programme is built around four thematic areas covering Airports and Airlines, Cargo and Logistics, Women in Aviation, and Space.
Each theme will have a dedicated forum featuring high-level speakers delivering keynote addresses and taking part in panel discussions.
The programme includes senior representatives from wellknown aviation organisations, such as: Boeing, Lockheed Martin, IATA, Gulf Air, Bahrain Airport Company, Air Arabia, UAE Space Agency, Orbital Space, Airports Council International, KPMG, International Space University, Magdrive, and DHL Global Forwarding.
Commenting on the forum programme, the Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications Mohamed bin Thamer AlKaabi, said, “We’re delighted to announce the forum programme for BIAS 2022, which constitutes a very important part of the Airshow.
It is one of the major draws of the event and serves as an important platform for facilitating industry cooperation around topics that are paramount to its sustainable growth and advancement.
“With an impressive group of participants and expert speakers in attendance, we will be exploring important themes and trends from across the industry.
We will also be giving attendees an unparalleled opportunity to hear from and engage directly with market leaders on the topics that matter most.”
