Passengers who want to travel to Malay Airport from Caticlan city center or from other nearby cities and regions can use taxis, boats or private shuttles. Although the boats are not used to get to the airport directly, they may be preferred to travel from many of the islands and the center to beaches near the airport.
Taxis are the most practical and fastest means to get to the airport from Caticlan city center. Moreover, taxi fares are very affordable as many other vehicles. If the distance between where you are to arrive at Malay Airport and the airport is long, you can negotiate a fixed fare by negotiating with the driver, or you can share the taxi with other passengers going to the airport.
After reaching the nearest pier by boat from the islands and beaches near the airport, you can travel to the airport by taxi or private vehicles from here and you can be at the airport terminal in a shorter time. Boat fares are not high, as other vehicles, but they can be a more expensive vehicle for those coming from distant locations.
Private shuttles are preferred by those who want to come directly from Caticlan and other areas close to the airport. The prices of the shuttles that take passengers to the airport with ease can vary depending on factors such as the time, duration, distance and the number of passengers travelling.
Malay Airport, which serves the city of Caticlan and other areas in its vicinity, is a small-sized airport, from where regional charter flights are operated usually. The airport, where there are consultation desks and waiting rooms, is used by passengers who want to travel to different destinations in the region.
Many transportation options are available to the city center from Bahrain International Airport, including:
Buses are the most budget-friendly transportation option to the city center. Two main lines, A1 and A2, are the primary airport routes, running approximately every 30 minutes, with air-conditioned, spacious, and comfortable buses.
Minibuses are less common alternatives to buses, as these are privately operated vehicles, and fares are typically lower than buses. However, they do not have a set schedule, availability can vary and can be crowded during peak hours. If you choose to use a minibus, it is advisable to confirm the destination with the driver before boarding.
Taxis are the fastest options available, as transportation to the city center takes around 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Make sure taxis are metered before your trip and if you seek alternatives ride-hailing services are available in Bahrain.
Many local and international car rental companies are available within Bahrain International Airport, offering an alternative option for transportation to the Manama city center. Make sure you have a valid international driving permit beforehand.
