Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) said it will establish an Innovation Lab to present and test innovative ideas in aviation technologies.

BAC said it also formed a task force representing different calibres from BAC who assess whether proposed ideas and solutions are feasible.

The announcement came on Day 2 of Bahrain International Airshow 2022. Al Binfalah said: “The objective of the Innovation Lab is to explore new ideas aimed at further enhancing the customer experience, using the latest aviation industry technology.

It also provides a platform to improve the ability of employees stationed at BAC and BIA to contribute to innovation. Our partners and stakeholders will be involved in this initiative, helping to ensure its success.”

He added: “The lab’s goal is to solve aviation-related challenges with result-oriented approaches that align with BAC’s strategic priorities. Innovation is key to building a stronger, more sustainable, and more resilient aviation industry.

Through this initiative, we aim to improve operational efficiency, optimise costs, and create new revenue models using creative, outside-the-box solutions.” BAC will open a workspace for the Innovation Lab at its headquarters in the first quarter of 2023. The lab is expected to improve efficiency and lower costs at the airport while opening new revenue streams.
