Tamkeen inks accord with MAE Aircraft Management in Bahrain

Tamkeen has entered into partnership with MAE Aircraft Management Company, a joint venture between Asia Cargo Network (ACN) and MENA Aerospace, enabling the air cargo operator to employ Bahraini talent.

While facilitating employment opportunities for qualified Bahraini pilots and aviation engineers, the collaboration aims to bolster air cargo activities, foster regional growth, and strengthen ties with prominent air transport service companies and aviation service providers.

The kingdom’s strategic location and historical reputation as a regional trade hub allows it to harness significant growth in this vital sector. In 2022, the transportation and logistics sector contributed 6.8 per cent to the GDP, offering quality job opportunities for local talent.

“With the shipping and logistics sector being a key focus of the government’s economic recovery plan, we are pleased to support MAE Aircraft Management Company, which aligns with our vision to reinforce the kingdom’s position as a regional hub for logistics services,” said Tamkeen chief executive Maha Mofeez.

This collaboration will allow MAE Aircraft Management Company to offer shipping companies in Bahrain access to advanced services, enhancing the efficiency and competitiveness of the local air freight market.

The venture will drive increased demand across the supply chain and contribute to the overall prosperity of the logistics sector.
