Abu Dhabi completes terminal refurbishment

Often seen as an easy alternative to Dubai for the western extremities of that city state, Abu Dhabi International Airport has completed the renovation of Terminal 1 including new duty free and food and beverage outlets.

Terminal 1 is used by airlines except the national carrier Etihad whose home is the adjoining and nearly new Terminal 3.  A few minutes from the main complex, Terminal 2 is for charter and budget carriers.

The project included an increase in the number of check-in and immigration counters.  Carried out over 10 months it is part of a programme to expand the airport capacity and meet the anticipated traffic growth, whilst completing the longer-term expansion plans of the capital’s airport through building new terminals and facilities.

The completed project was also designed to deliver a high quality facility and upgraded services in Terminal 1 in line with the Terminal 3 offerings.  The timing is ideal just before the busy Formula One weekend. www.abudhabiairport.ae
