King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has ruled Bahrain since 1999, first as Emir and from 2002 as King. Born in 1950 in Riffa, he is a member of the Al Khalifa dynasty and was educated at military colleges in the UK and the US. The Bahrain royal family travels in two private Boeing 747 BBJ aircraft with registrations A9C-HAK and A9C-HMK. The A9C-HAK was originally built for the Sultan of Oman before passing to the Royal Family of Abu Dhabi, and has been owned by King Hamad since 2007 with a customized interior costing over $100 million. King Hamad is a trained helicopter pilot who established the Bahrain Amiri Air Force. His international travel focuses on Gulf Cooperation Council summits, state visits to Western capitals, and diplomatic engagements across the Middle East and beyond.
