BAS wins Saudi Arabian Airlines deal

MANAMA, March 7, 2017

Bahrain Airport Services (BAS) has announced that it has signed a technical handling agreement with Saudi Arabian Airlines for the Bahrain International Airport.

The agreement displays their confidence in our expertise and experience over the years and our commitment to provide the highest level of safety checks, said Engineer Osama Helmi, manager, line maintenance.

"We would be covering all aspects of the technical handling with the strict governance of the Maintenance Organisation Exposition which is a formal document describing how an approved maintenance organisation or MRO is structured to achieve delivery of its activity. This will ensure the timeliness of our processes and increase efficiency as we support our partners,” he said.

“BAS is delighted to partner with international airlines for technical handling and we remain dedicated towards strengthening the quality of our processes and procedures to ensure the most efficient on-time-performance,” said Jalal Mohammed Jalal, chairman of BAS.
 
The line maintenance team provides state-of-the-art technical handling support to most of the international airlines at the Bahrain International Airport. Technical handling addresses the technical service requirements of an airline between the time it arrives at a terminal gate and the time it departs onward to its next flight route.

Technical handling operations include various crucial checks that need to be carried out by a team of professional engineers and mechanics at BAS such as transit, arrival, departure and other line management functional checks. Troubleshooting procedures are conducted, if necessary, to ensure the highest level of safety certification is done post-service to confirm that a flight is ready for take-off.

Meanwhile, BAS has achieved the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 accreditation, which specifies the requirements of  establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS) within the organization. It also certifies specific requirements to be met for the assessment and treatment of information security risks tailored to the needs of the organisation (BAS).

BAS is an ISAGO (Iata Safety Audit for Ground Operations)  accredited ground service provider. ISAGO has been built upon a 'backbone' of audit standards applicable to all ground handling companies worldwide, coupled with a uniform set of standards relevant for the specific activities of any ground handler.  - TradeArabia News Service
