MENA Aerospace Enterprises, WLL (MENA) completed its 6,400 square meter aircraft hangar and office complex located on the northern side of Bahrain International Airport. The entire facility has now been integrated into the airport's operational procedures.

The hangar complex consists of two separate bays of more than 3,000 square meters each, and with sufficient door height to accommodate most airliners' tail height. The facility caters to all aircraft operators and operations, whether maintenance or parking under protection from the region's harsh elements.

The facility's developer and operator, MENA Aviation Real Estate, has been carrying out its “soft launch” to successfully test the various systems and operations of the hangar. The facility, which is fully MFPA 409 compliant entered into full operation following Bahrain Civil Aviation Affairs recently completing the integration of the hangar's taxiway into the airport's procedures.

MENA's vice chairman, Mr. Tawfiq Al Zamil said, “This is a unique facility at Bahrain Airport, and we feel it will fill a very specific requirement for hangar parking and an location which is suitable and approved to perform maintenance on locally based aircraft and transient operators in need of maintenance support while transiting through Bahrain.” Mr. Al Zamil added, “we are very proud of team members who brought this project to light, as it is the culmination of years of planning and diligent efforts. We also appreciate the assistance and cooperation of the Bahrain Airport Company and Bahrain Civil Aviation Affairs for their continued support.”

The facility, is already sixty percent sold out. MENA Aviation Real Estate is accepting inquiries from aircraft operators and service providers for space in its hangar
