The agreement ensures the uninterrupted operation of BIA’s digital security infrastructure, including airport security cameras, access control, public announcements, and related system integrations. The partnership aligns with Bahrain’s digital transformation vision and is intended to support smart and secure airport operations.

“This partnership reflects our commitment to maintaining robust and advanced digital infrastructure at the heart of the airport’s operations,” said Ahmed Naeemi, chief technology officer of Gulf Air Group, who noted that the technology helps ensure systems “operate reliably every day.”
