<p class="blog-para">The origins of Bahrain's international airport date to 1927, when a chartered flight to Bahrain landed. The first scheduled commercial airliner to arrive in Bahrain, in 1932, was a flight from London to Delhi operated on a Handley Page H.P.42 aircraft named Hannibal.</p>
<p class="blog-para">The H.P. 42 carried only 24 passengers, and the flight from London had taken several days of flying at speeds of 100 miles per hour. Through this regularly scheduled service, Bahrain became established as one of the Persian Gulf's first international airports. During World War II, the airport was used by the United States Army Air Forces Air Transport Command Central African Wing, being designated as Station No. 13. It functioned as a stopover en route to Abadan Airport, Iran, or Sharjah Airport, in present-day UAE, on the Karachi-Cairo route.The Royal Air Force maintained a military installation at the airfield known initially as RAF Bahrain and then as RAF Muharraq from 1943 until Bahrain's independence in December 1971.The majority of these facilities were later acquired by the Bahraini flag carrier airline, Gulf Air, while a small portion continues to be utilised by the U.S. Navy as Aviation Support Unit (ASU) Bahrain.</p>
