Über uns Zayed International Airport

Der Abu Dhabi International Airport ist der Hauptflughafen der Hauptstadt der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate und ein wachsendes Drehkreuz für den interkontinentalen Luftverkehr. Mit der Eröffnung des Midfield Terminal 2023, jetzt als Terminal A bekannt, hat der Flughafen eine massive Transformation erfahren. Dieses neue Terminal kostete etwa 3 Milliarden Dollar, hat eine Kapazität von 45 Millionen Passagieren pro Jahr und besticht durch eine eindrucksvolle zeitgenössische Architektur mit einem geschwungenen Bogendach, das von traditionellem arabischen Design inspiriert ist. Das Terminal umfasst 65 Kontaktgates, eine der größten Duty-Free-Einzelhandelsflächen der Welt und fortschrittliche biometrische Technologie. Der Flughafen fertigt jährlich über 24 Millionen Passagiere ab und ist das Hauptdrehkreuz von Etihad Airways. AUH bietet US-Preclearance-Einrichtungen, die es Passagieren ermöglichen, die US-Zoll- und Grenzschutzabfertigung vor dem Abflug durchzuführen. Der Flughafen verfügt über zwei Start- und Landebahnen. Seine strategische Lage am Arabischen Golf platziert ihn in einer Flugentfernung von etwa acht Stunden zu rund zwei Dritteln der Weltbevölkerung.
