Lockheed Martin has announced its participation and sponsorship of the Bahrain International Airshow (BIAS) 2024.
The partnership signifies the global aerospace and defence manufacturer’s longstanding ties with the airshow and the wider Gulf region.
The contract was signed during meeting at the Paris Air Show by Yousif Mahmoud, Director General of the Bahrain International Airshow and Craig Spyhalski, International Air and Show Trade Lead at Lockheed Martin, in the presence of His Excellency Mohamed bin Thamer Al Kaabi, Bahrain’s Minister of Transportation and Telecommunication.
A relationship spanning decades, Bahrain was the first country in the region to adopt Lockheed Martin’s F-16 aircraft for the Royal Bahraini Air Force and in early 2023 became the first country in the world to receive delivery of the first ‘F-16 Block 70’ fighter jet from the manufacturer. Lockheed Martin has secured their presence at BIAS 2024 with a stand in the exhibition hall and dedicated chalet.
