Bahrain Pass Airport Services is officially expanding beyond the Kingdom with the launch of Pass Saudi Arabia, marking a major regional milestone for the Bahrain-based aviation company.

The newly launched regional arm will be headquartered in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province and will focus on aircraft ground handling services. The expansion builds on years of operational experience gained at Bahrain International Airport, where the company has strengthened its expertise in aviation support operations and airport services.

The move comes as Saudi Arabia continues rapidly expanding its aviation and tourism sectors under large-scale national development plans, creating growing demand for airport operations, aircraft handling, and technical aviation services across the Kingdom.

In addition to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain Pass Airport Services is also exploring future opportunities in Oman. Current studies include possible investments in aircraft maintenance and technical inspection services, alongside plans connected to operating rights across several Saudi airports.

The regional expansion highlights the increasing role of Bahrain-based companies within the Gulf aviation industry as countries across the region continue investing heavily in air transport infrastructure, airport development, and international connectivity.

With operations now extending beyond Bahrain, Pass Saudi Arabia signals the company’s next step toward becoming a wider Gulf aviation services player.

BRAVE Combat Federation is stepping beyond the cage and into the business community with the launch of “BRAVE Hearts,” a new initiative focused on supporting local businesses through free professional services and consultations.

Known globally for putting Bahrain on the international MMA map, BRAVE CF is now channeling its platform and network toward entrepreneurship, innovation, and community development. The initiative aims to help small and medium-sized businesses strengthen their operations by providing access to expertise in marketing, finance, IT, business strategy, and consultation services which is all free of charge.

The program is designed to assist businesses that may have strong ideas and products but limited access to professional support systems. Through BRAVE Hearts, participating businesses will receive guidance from experienced professionals who can help improve visibility, operational efficiency, branding, and long-term sustainability.

The move reflects a broader vision from BRAVE CF to create impact outside of sports. While the organization has built its reputation through international events, athlete development, and global expansion, BRAVE Hearts signals a growing commitment to community-focused initiatives that directly benefit Bahrain’s local economy and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

In recent years, Bahrain has continued encouraging innovation, startups, and SME growth as part of its wider economic diversification goals. Initiatives like BRAVE Hearts align with that direction by creating practical support opportunities for businesses navigating competitive markets and rapid digital transformation.

The initiative is also expected to create stronger connections between sports, business, and community development. By using its brand reach and professional network, BRAVE CF is positioning itself not only as a sports organization, but also as a platform capable of creating meaningful social and economic impact.

For many local businesses, access to expert consultation services can often come with high costs. BRAVE Hearts removes that barrier and opens the door for entrepreneurs and business owners to gain insights that could help them scale, modernize, or improve their market presence.

As BRAVE CF continues expanding internationally, BRAVE Hearts adds another dimension to the organization’s identity which is one focused on giving back, strengthening local businesses, and building long-term community value beyond fight night.
