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.
