While Texel Air will provide hangar, maintenance and certification services through its 3,200 m2 facility at Bahrain International airport, Comlux will take care of system upgrades and cabin modification services by hiring high-skilled local craftsmen and engineers, managed and assisted by Comlux America experts on-site.

This opportunity continues to demonstrate our commitment to bringing world class services to the region. ” The Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications’ Civil Aviation Affairs has supported the growth of the business aviation segment in the Kingdom of Bahrain and this partnership is an example of the benefits such partnerships can bring to the local economy.
