Level 5 is the highest level of ACI’s Customer Experience Accreditation programme and places BIA among airports worldwide to hold this distinction. Maintaining the accreditation for the second consecutive year reflects BAC’s commitment to embedding customer experience across its strategy, governance, operations, service design, and corporate culture.
BIA was also named Best Airport at Arrivals Globally for the second consecutive year through ACI’s Airport Service Quality programme. Based on feedback from passengers from around the world, the award reflects the quality of BIA’s arrivals services and the efficiency of the passenger experience upon entering the Kingdom of Bahrain.
