The first phase of a one-stop air travel system between Bahrain and the UAE will begin from today.
It will enable the completion of all travel procedures at a single point, without the need for repeated inspection procedures.
The Cabinet session – chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, at Gudaibiya Palace yesterday – welcomed the launch of the first phase.
The initiative is part of a major GCC travel plan designed to introduce seamless connection between member states.
Bahrain and the UAE are the two nations selected to trial the first phase of the project, which aims to improve connectivity and cut down on airport waiting times.
The first phase will apply to Gulf Air and Etihad Airways flights for citizens travelling between Bahrain International Airport and Zayed International Airport, Abu Dhabi.
