AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Bahrain Airport Traffic Surge: Bahrain International Airport saw a big jump in May, with passenger numbers rising from 76,397 in April to 487,069 in May, alongside higher arrivals, departures, and overflights—fuelled by restored capacity after regional disruption. Airline Restorations: Turkish Airlines is progressively bringing back its Middle East network, with Bahrain flights set to resume from July 16, after Abu Dhabi restart (July 1) and services to Dammam and Kuwait later in July. More Flight Options: Air India Express has restored its full West Asia network, restarting Salalah and Kuwait routes and adding Muscat–Mangaluru connectivity. Road & Getting Around: A new 1.3km U-turn at the Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Highway and Zallaq Highway junction opens to ease congestion and improve access to Al Raffa. Family Fun in Bahrain: The third Bahrain Summer Toy Festival opens today at Bahrain International Exhibition Centre, running until August 5 with 3 themed zones and daily entertainment. Heritage Protection: Authorities plan signs banning the feeding of stray dogs at UNESCO-listed Dilmun Burial Mounds sites, with supervised removal teams to protect archaeological areas. Consumer Watch: A retail outlet in the Capital Governorate was shut after inspectors found unjustified price hikes on essential food items and mismatched shelf vs checkout pricing. UN & Regional Tensions: US UN Ambassador Mike Waltz sharply rebuked Iran’s envoy during an emergency Security Council session over attacks linked to Bahrain and Kuwait. Tourism Spotlight: Göbeklitepe in Türkiye has welcomed about 4.41 million visitors since its UNESCO listing in 2018, adding to global heritage travel interest. Travel Safety Note: A Bahrain-linked visa/job scam case in Kashmir alleges forged documents promising overseas work in Bahrain.
