According to statistics, the number of scheduled passengers handled by the airline industry globally has increased by 1,215 million passengers in the past 5 years!

Compass are pleased to be supporting Aer Rianta International, once again, with Project and Cost Management Services for the upcoming fit-out of the 5,100sqm Bahrain Duty-Free at Bahrain International Airport’s new terminal.

Comprised of a multitude of luxury retails brands including associated warehousing, offices and staff welfare areas, the new Duty-Free design is sure to lure in passengers, providing fuss-fee, efficient retail therapy for those transit top-ups.
