Abu Dhabi Airports Company to open new VIP terminal in Q4 2013

As part of its Capacity Enhancement Programme (CEP) and in line with its ambition to provide a world class travel experience, Abu Dhabi Airports Company is set to open Abu Dhabi International Airport’s VIP terminal to be available to all interested travelers.

The new VIP terminal will be operated by National Aviation Services (NAS), an internationally recognised aviation services provider, which also provides Golden Class services in Terminals 1 and 3.

Through the VIP terminal, passengers will experience a unique personalised service ensuring completion of all travel procedures in the fastest manner possible while enjoying a range of services within the private terminal.

The VIP Terminal, scheduled to open its doors in the 4th quarter of 2013, will be available to all passengers flying to and from Abu Dhabi International Airport at a pre-set fee, and will offer added privacy, convenience and luxury – a completely new proposition.

The VIP terminal will have its own facilities, separate from those of Terminals 1 and 3, which include a dedicated drop off area, with a new road being built specially to accommodate it, and will also provide separate immigration, police and baggage handling services to its passengers.

Mohammed Al Bulooki, Chief Commercial Officer at Abu Dhabi International Airport, said: "Abu Dhabi Airports Company is committed to providing the best services to airlines and passengers despite the existing capacity challenges.

“In 2012, the airport saw 18.9 per cent growth in passenger traffic compared with 2011; and, with the strong growth registered to date this year, traffic in the upcoming years is expected to follow the same if not an increased growth trend."

"In addition to providing passengers with unique personalised services, the new VIP terminal will add to the handling capacity of Abu Dhabi International Airport, accommodating the foreseen growth.

The new 924 square metre facility is set to offer unparalleled levels of comfort and services, in line with Abu Dhabi Airports Company’s commitment to delivering tailor-made services at the highest standards, to all passenger segments, ultimately enhancing their airport experience."

Guests using the new terminal will be welcomed and escorted by a special services NAS agent to facilitate check-in, baggage and immigration procedures, as well as escort guests to and from the aircraft directly utilising a limousine service.
 

Hassan El Houry, Chief Executive Officer of National Aviation Services said: "NAS is proud to partner with Abu Dhabi Airports Company once again in our mutual endeavour to offer passengers world class luxury and a unique travel experience.

“The VIP Terminal will enhance the level of service at the existing Abu Dhabi International Airport and will also provide style and sophistication for travellers, on par with the best airports in the world.

“With its seamless immigration and baggage handling services, and private limousine services directly to and from the aircraft, the VIP Terminal is set to take "travel in style" to the next level." Wam
