The latest news on Abu Dhabi Airport (AUH).

L'Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH/OMAA) is one of the main airports in the United Arab Emirates and a vital gateway for international and domestic air traffic in the region. Located about 32 km east of downtown Abu Dhabi, is one of the largest and busiest airports in the Middle East.

Opened in the 1982, Abu Dhabi Airport has played a significant role in the development of aviation in the region. With more than 120 destinations served throughout the world, it is a major hub for travelers coming from and going to various parts of the globe, including Europe, Asia, Africa and America. The airport hosts several international and domestic airlines, ensuring a wide range of travel options.

Abu Dhabi is renowned for its modernity, operational efficiency, and high-quality services to passengers. It has received several awards over the years, including the title of "Best Airport in the Middle East" by Skytrax and other awards for its excellence in airport services.

Currently, the airport handles a passenger flow of more than 20 million per year, making it one of the busiest airports in the region. It has three terminals modern and well-organized, designed to provide a comfortable and convenient travel experience for passengers passing through them.

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, has its main hub at Abu Dhabi International Airport, further consolidating its position in the international aviation scene.
