Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix

Al Bateen Executive Airport, Abu Dhabi’s dedicated private aviation airport, is taking the lead in promoting the UAE as the hub for business aviation in the region through announcing an attractive offer during the Etihad Airways’ Formula 1 Grand Prix, the final race of the 2010 season.  The executive airport will provide landing and parking services free of charge to all executive jets arriving between 10 and 14 November 2010. 

Endorsing the initiative of the airport’s owner Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC),  Ali Al Naqbi, Chairman of the Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA), said: “This Formula 1 offer is a proactive initiative on behalf of its management to further promote the airport, specifically for business aviation and in general, in the UAE during this mega event of 2010.”

The airport’s strategic location, just over the causeway into the city of Abu Dhabi, provides business travellers with direct access to the central business district of the capital, and is a 15 minutes’ drive to the Yas Island motor racing circuit.  The new CEO Steve Jones, currently Managing Director of Oxford Airport, takes up his position in mid-November.
