Baggage services are efficient and reliable and use the latest automated tracking and tracing systems. Every effort is made to deliver baggage to the Arrivals Hall within minutes of a flight's arrival. A computerised system for baggage renconciliation has been installed. It is not uncommon for the Traffic Department t o handle passenger flows in excess of 2,000 per hour. On numerous occasions, the Department has proved its capability by handling as many as ten flight arrivals and six flight departures in the same one hour period.
Every endeavour is made to ensure that flights depart on time.
The Traffic Department also has a special unit to handle executive flights, operate the Delmon Lounge at the Airport and provide assistance to passengers who need extra care such as unaccompanied children and those who are disabled. BAS has electric cars at both arrivals and departures to assist such passengers. Being in the frontline, the Traffic Department realises it represents the face of Bahrain International Airport. Thus every effort is made to deliver its services with speed, efficiency, and above all, courtesy.
