The Supreme Organizing Committee of the Bahrain International Air Show announced the rescheduling of the eighth edition of the exhibition, which was scheduled for the period from 18 to 20 November 2026 at the Sakhir Air Base, to be held instead during the period from 15 to 17 November 2028.

A new date for wider participation
