The Bahrain Airport Company (BAC), the managing body and operator of the kingdom's airport, has signed up Al Yusuf Décor to design its new headquarters in Manama.

The scope of work includes supervision of the entire project including construction work, fit-outs and interior design, said a statement from the company.

BAC will be shifting into the new headquarters building, located in the aviation compound opposite to BIA also home to Gulf Air’s head offices, in the first quarter of 2016.

The new contemporary offices will feature open workspaces to encourage interactions between co-workers besides spacious meeting rooms, offices and breakout areas.

CEO Mohamed Yousif Albinfalah said the relocation into brand new offices is in line with the company’s strategic objectives which aim to enhance the work environment and make BAC a great place to work, boosting business and performance improvement as a result.

"These have been designed to strengthen employee engagement and communication and provide a comfortable workspace for all our staff with ample parking facilities and conveniences. In addition, our new headquarters are strategically located close to BIA and to some of our key aviation partners such as Gulf Air and Gulf Aviation Academy, fostering greater interaction and cooperation," he added.

BAC is the authority responsible for enhancing the airport and increasing its contribution to the local economy in line with Bahrain’s Economic Vision.

In its operational role, BAC is responsible for elevating the airport’s operations, infrastructure and services. This is set to improve BIA’s capabilities and cater to the growing number of passengers as well as the changing demands of stakeholders.-TradeArabia News Service
