Fourth edition January 2012 THREE MONTHS AND COUNTING TO THE FORMULA 1 RACE IN BAHRAIN A recent trip to the Kingdom of Bahrain for their bi-annual international air show had me pass by the F1 circuit every time I was going to or coming from the show ground at the Sakhir Air Base, and memories came back how the long awaited season opener last year had to be postponed, and was in the end cancelled to the lasting regret of the global racing fans who, in the short time Bahrain was a race venue, had come to love the circuit, the people and the country. Gulf Air, official carrier of the Bahrain International Air Show, is of course also the official carrier of the Bahrain F1 Grand Prix – and main corporate sponsor as the 4th race of the 2012 season is named ‘The Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix’, taking place between 20th and 22nd April this year. The airline, as witnessed, has a number of their aircraft advertising the event and in fact one Airbus A 330 is painted in special F1 livery, flying the message across their network.

  • Bahrain: Unrest, Security, and U.S
    Bahrain: Unrest, Security, and U.S. Policy Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Updated February 24, 2020 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov 95-1013 Bahrain: Unrest, Security, and U.S. Policy Summary A 2011 uprising by a mostly Shia opposition to the Sunni-minority-led regime of Bahrain’s Al Khalifa ruling family has subsided, but punishments of oppositionists and periodic demonstrations continue. The uprising did not achieve its goal of establishing a constitutional monarchy, but the unrest compelled the ruling family to undertake some modest reforms. Elections for the lower house of a legislative body, last held in 2018, were marred by the banning of opposition political societies and allegations of gerrymandering. The mainstream opposition uses peaceful forms of dissent, but small factions, reportedly backed by Iran, have conducted some attacks on security officials. The government’s repression presents a policy dilemma for the United States because Bahrain is a longtime ally that is pivotal to maintaining Persian Gulf security. The country has hosted a U.S. naval command headquarters for the Gulf region since 1948; the United States and Bahrain have had a formal Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) since 1991; and Bahrain is designated by the United States as a “major non-NATO ally.” There are nearly 5,000 U.S. forces, mostly Navy, in Bahrain, which relies on U.S.-made arms. Because of the government’s use of force against protesters, both the Obama and Trump Administrations curtailed U.S. assistance to Bahrain’s internal security organizations. The Trump Administration has prioritized countering Iran and addressing other regional security issues, and to that end has lifted the previous Administration’s conditionality on major arms sales to Bahrain’s military and has corroborated Bahrain leadership assertions that Iran is providing material support to violent opposition factions in Bahrain.

    Air Transport Development in the Middle East: A Review of the Process of Liberalisation and its Impact John F. O’Connell1,a,* and George Williams1,b 1The Department of Air Transport, Cranfield University, Bedford, MK43 0AL, UK ABSTRACT The air transport market in the Middle East is undergoing a rapid transformation as passenger traffic is beginning to surge through the area. This paper examines the impact that deregulation is having on the region, including the growth of low cost carriers. It establishes that the region is working towards a pan-regional agreement on liberalisation under the leadership of the Arab Civil Aviation Commission. KEYWORDS: Middle East, Arab Air Carriers Organization, Liberalisation, Pan-regional agreement on liberalisation, Arab Civil Aviation Commission, Low Cost Carriers. 1. INTRODUCTION According to the World Tourism Organisation, the Middle East is comprised of Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the UAE and Yemen, with Israel placed in the East Mediterranean Europe category (World Tourism Organisation, 2005). The collective population of these states was approximately 179 million in 2007, which constitutes just 3 per cent of the world’s population (IMF, 2007). The six main countries that are classified as the engines of growth in the Middle East are Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and are collectively known as a Dr John (Frankie) O’Connell is a lecturer in Airline Management at the Air Transport Department at Cranfield University where he specialises in airline strategy and marketing.

  • Bahrain: Unrest, Security, and U.S. Policy
    Bahrain: Unrest, Security, and U.S. Policy Updated June 26, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov 95-1013 Bahrain: Unrest, Security, and U.S. Policy Summary Bahrain is a small island nation, ruled by a hereditary monarchy, that is in a partnership with other Arab monarchies of the Persian Gulf called the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman). Bahrain is led by King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, who succeeded his father, Shaykh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, upon his death in 1999. U.S.-Bahrain ties are long-standing and have deepened over the past four decades as the Gulf region has become highly volatile. The country has hosted a U.S. naval command headquarters for the Gulf region since 1948, and the United States and Bahrain have had a formal Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) since 1991. In 2004, Bahrain was designated by the United States as a “major non-NATO ally.” There are nearly 5,000 U.S. forces, mostly Navy, serving at the naval facility and other bases in Bahrain, and the country is a significant buyer of U.S.-made arms. In 2014, Bahrain joined the U.S.-led coalition combatting the Islamic State and flew strikes against the group’s fighters in Syria that year. Bahrain generally supports de facto GCC leader Saudi Arabia, which provides Bahrain with substantial financial support. In 2015, Bahrain joined Saudi Arabia-led military action to try to restore the government of Yemen that was ousted by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
