Flying high with vast experience in commercial and technical aviation

Mohamed Yousif Al-Binfalah is responsible for delivering the $1 billion Bahrain International Airport Modernization Program, which includes elevating the airport’s infrastructure and services to the highest levels of safety, security, technology, passenger experience and environmental standards.

Al-Binfalah joined Bahrain Airport Co. in 2012 and was previously the general manager of DHL Aviation Service WLL for eight years. Before this, he held senior management positions at Gulf Petrochemicals Industries Co.

He was also one of the founders of a facility management company headquartered in Bahrain with offices in Kuwait, Dubai and Saudi Arabia.

Al-Binfalah is currently working with a group of companies to establish the Bahrain Green Building Council. Moreover, he was recently appointed as a special advisor to the Airports Council International Asia-Pacific Regional Board.

Under Al-Binfalah’s leadership, the company has transformed BIA into the most modern boutique airport in the Gulf.

With a strong focus on innovation, efficiency, and culture, the company‘s goal is to ensure that BIA stands out as a best-in-class airport that reflects the Kingdom’s distinct character and strengthens its position as a financial, cultural, and aviation center in the region.

Since assuming the responsibility of managing and operating the airport in 2010, the company has cemented BIA’s reputation as an attractive hub for airlines and passengers.

The new passenger terminal is the crowning jewel of a massive and comprehensive modernization program, which revamps the Kingdom’s entire aviation sector, integrating a range of industries into it.
