Effective October 1, 2019, Bahrain International Airport (BIA) will introduce new baggage acceptance rules to eliminate jams in the Baggage Handling System that cause shutdowns, delays, and inconvenience to passengers and airlines. 
Items that will no longer be permitted include round and irregular shaped bags, irregular shaped bags tied with a loose rope or string, bags with loose straps, and blanket wrapped bags.
Items such as baby strollers, bicycles, wheelchairs, and golf bags will be still allowed. The new system features an 8.6-kilometer conveyer belt and will be capable of processing up to 4,800 bags an hour.
