Construction progress at jet fuel farm complex reviewed

The Minister of Oil, Shaikh Mohammed bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, and the Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications, Kamal Ahmed hailed the on-schedule progress of construction work at Bahrain International Airport’s (BIA) new fuel farm complex during an inspection visit to the site.

The ministers were briefed on the latest milestones of the project, which was launched in mid-2017, in the presence of BAC Jet Fuel Company (BJFCO) board members, and representatives from Bahrain Airport Company (BAC), engineering consultants Mott Macdonald, and main contractor Amana Pipeline Construction.

The strategic project, an important component of the Airport Modernisation Programme, will reinforce Bahrain’s position as a centre of aviation fuel services in the GCC region and contribute to national economic growth in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
