In two months, Abu Dhabi International Airport will welcome travellers to its new state-of-the-art terminal: Terminal A.

Through leveraging the latest technologies, Abu Dhabi’s reimagined airport experience will offer a seamless passenger journey, fostering connectivity, interactions, business, trade and tourism, all of which are essential elements in strengthening Abu Dhabi’s position on the world stage.”
Built to accommodate 45 million people the terminal leverages a range of interconnected biometric systems, making it capable of processing 11,000 passengers per hour.

In addition to winning international design awards for its striking architecture, the new terminal has been constructed with sustainability as a core principle. The building boasts a fully integrated solar photovoltaic system on the car park roof currently powering a three-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) plant saving nearly 5,300t of CO2 annually.
As the product of cutting-edge technology, dedication to passenger experience, and commitment to sustainability, the new terminal will explore what can be achieved when innovation, customer-centricity, and sustainability converge.
