Abu Dhabi Airports reported that for 2013 passenger figures grew strongly throughout the year with figures up to more than 16.5 million, a 12.4% rise on 2012. Aircraft traffic has, in parallel, registered a tangible increase with total of 135,213 movements at Abu Dhabi International Airport , an increase of 11.2% from 2012.
The increase in passenger, aircraft and cargo traffic is a result of Abu Dhabi Airports’ strategy of on-going development of facilities and services to benefit its customers. The top five destinations from Abu Dhabi throughout the year were India, Germany, England, Thailand and Saudi Arabia.
Tony Douglas, chief executive officer, Abu Dhabi Airports, said: “Last year, we opened a new arrivals hall for Terminal 1 & 3 in 2013 and we made significant progress on our Midfield Terminal Project. This is set to open for business in July 2017 and will increase the airport’s capacity to be able to handle 30 m passengers a year.”
