AIP referenceOBBI — AIP Bahrain (Ministry of Transportation & Telecommunications, Bahrain eAIP), AD 2.OBBI Bahrain International Airport
Operating hoursH24 — no curfew; noise-abatement procedures restrict departures over populated areas; Low Visibility Procedures declared whenever RVR is 1000 m or less or the manoeuvring area is not visible from the tower. Runway 12R/30L is currently listed as not available in the AIP (confirmed on AIRAC cycles through Sep 2025), so 12L/30R (ILS CAT II) is presently the airport's sole usable runway in all conditions, not only under LVP.
TerminalsSingle unified passenger terminal (opened January 2021; ~210,000 sqm; design capacity 14m passengers/year and 130,000 air traffic movements/year); separate Awal Private Terminal (~4,000 sqm) for VIP/private aviation and a 25,000 sqm cargo terminal
Runways (2)
  • 12L/30R · 3,964 m / 13,005 ft · 60 m wide · Asphalt/Concrete · ILS ILS CAT II
  • 12R/30L · 2,530 m / 8,301 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt (currently not available per AIP AD 2.12 — confirmed on AIRAC cycles through Sep 2025)
Bahrain's sole international gateway and the hub for flag carrier Gulf Air (plus Gulf Air Cargo); a 2021-built unified terminal replaced the older facility and the airport now serves 74 destinations via 39 airlines. Passenger traffic hit a record 9.74 million in 2025, up 4.2% on 2024's 9.35 million, with cargo also at a record 405,217 tonnes. The main runway (12L/30R) is ILS CAT II-equipped; the shorter crosswind runway (12R/30L) has no ILS and is currently listed as not available in the AIP, leaving 12L/30R as the airport's only active runway.
