Bahrain International Airport — Manama, Bahrain

Bahrain International Airport serves Manama, the capital of the island nation of Bahrain, from its location on Muharraq Island just across a short causeway from the city center. The airport serves as the home hub of Gulf Air, Bahrain's national carrier, and has long stood as an established aviation gateway on the western side of the Gulf. Sitting at just 6 feet above sea level, BAH reflects the low, flat geography typical of Bahrain's small island territory, and operates two runways to handle both passenger and cargo traffic. Regional airports within reach include King Abdulaziz Air Base near Dhahran in Saudi Arabia at about 48 kilometers, King Fahd International Airport roughly 87 kilometers away, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar at about 145 kilometers. Bahrain's position along the Gulf, linked by causeway to Saudi Arabia, places BAH within a tightly packed cluster of major airports serving neighboring Gulf Cooperation Council states. The airport continues to handle a substantial mix of international passenger service, cargo operations, and connecting traffic throughout the broader region.
