About Abu Dhabi International Airport

Overview

Abu Dhabi International Airport lies approximately 30 kilometres east of central Abu Dhabi, serving as the primary international gateway to the capital of the United Arab Emirates. It opened in 1982, replacing the older Al Bateen Airport, which had grown unsuitable for large commercial jets. The airport functions as a major long-haul hub linking the Gulf region with Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

Terminals & runways

The airport currently operates from Terminal A, a large unified terminal opened in 2023 that consolidated operations from the older Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Two parallel runways oriented roughly 13/31 handle traffic around the clock, with no overnight curfew. Terminal A is among the largest single airport buildings in the world and was designed to significantly expand the airport's overall capacity.

Airlines

Abu Dhabi International is the principal hub of Etihad Airways, the UAE's flag carrier, which operates the bulk of long-haul services from the airport. Low-cost carrier Wizz Air Abu Dhabi also bases aircraft here. A wide range of international carriers from Europe, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and the Gulf region serve the airport with scheduled passenger and cargo flights.
