Bahrain Airport Services (BAS) has concluded the third edition of its “Take-Off” summer programme, reinforcing its commitment to youth development and aviation awareness through its corporate social responsibility initiatives.

The two-week programme, designed for students aged 15 to 18, introduced participants to various aspects of ground handling services and the interconnected operations that support the aviation sector.

The initiative featured interactive workshops focused on developing personal and professional skills, along with field visits to key units at Bahrain International Airport, including passenger services, air operations, catering and cargo.

Participants gained practical insights into airport operations through direct engagement with aviation specialists, learning about procedures, responsibilities and the importance of coordination in ensuring operational efficiency and passenger safety.
