Nearly 20 years after moving to its present location, Abu Dhabi International
Airport is on target to complete a multi-million dollar expansion
programme to increase capacity to 7.2 million passengers a year within
the next five years. During the same period, cargo capacity will be
increased to 350,000 tonnes a year.
The plan includes
a futuristic new satellite terminal directly connected to 11 aircraft
stands capable of accomodating new-age Super Jumbos such as the
Airbus A380 double-deck airliner, due to enter service in 2006,
The terminal will have 4,000 square metres of world-class duty-free
retail space, restaurants and superb level of passenger comfort
and convinience.
