Abu Dhabi Airport has made extensive preparations to welcome the first passengers to the new terminal. To assist travelers in identifying their departure or arrival terminals, the airport operator has launched an awareness campaign. Passengers planning to fly from Abu Dhabi between November 1 and 14 are encouraged to visit the airport’s website or check with their respective airlines for the most up-to-date travel information.
The airport operator emphasizes the importance of verifying terminal information with airlines before heading to the airport or picking up visitors. This will ensure a smooth and stress-free travel experience during the transitional phase.
One noteworthy development is that the exact location of Terminal A has been added to popular way-finding applications, including Google Maps and Waze. This makes it easier for travelers to locate the new terminal, whether they are arriving from Abu Dhabi or Dubai. Highway signage along the E10 and E11, as well as other key locations around Terminal A, has been updated for clearer directions. For those utilizing taxis or public transportation, there are convenient drop-off points directly at the terminal.
According to Frank McCrorie, the Chief Operating Officer at Abu Dhabi Airports, Terminal A will significantly enhance the airport’s capacity. He advised passengers flying between November 1 and 14 to stay informed by checking the latest flight information on the Abu Dhabi International Airport website or contacting their respective airlines for confirmation of their departure or arrival terminals.
