About Abu Dhabi Airports

Abu Dhabi Airports is the company that owns and operates the airports of Abu Dhabi. Its main airport is Zayed International Airport, formerly known as Abu Dhabi International Airport, the hub of Etihad Airways.

Zayed International opened a large new terminal in 2023, which replaced the older terminals and significantly increased the airport's capacity, with modern facilities, retail and dining.

The company also operates Al Ain International Airport, Al Bateen Executive Airport for private and business aviation, and smaller airports serving islands such as Sir Bani Yas and Delma.

Airport operators manage terminals, runways, security coordination, retail and dining concessions, car parking and the overall passenger experience, while airlines and ground handlers run flight operations.

Technology has become central to airport operations, with biometric systems that let passengers pass through check-in and immigration using facial recognition.

Abu Dhabi's tourism strategy, with attractions on Yas and Saadiyat islands and major events, depends on strong air connectivity through its airports.
