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.
