Abu Dhabi opens new passenger terminal
The Supervision Committee for the Expansion of Abu Dhabi International Airport is constructing a new Passenger Terminal 3 Facility in Abu Dhabi International Airport, bringing high-end technology to the region’s travel infrastructure.
The anchor tenant for the facility is Etihad Airways, the nation’s flagship carrier.
The Etihad Interim Terminal 3 to be built by Al Habtoor Engineering/ Murray & Roberts LLC Joint Venture, Contractor, will create new opportunities to enhance Abu Dhabi’s emergence as an internationally significant business travel, transfer, and tourism destination. The increasing volume of visitors to the UAE presents both a significant opportunity and a logistical challenge.
Using innovative technology will be central to the successful development of this ambitious program of works, calling upon airport specialists in the fields of construction, civil engineering, design/engineering, and systems integration.
‘This is a major project innovation, and it is crucial that the frontline users of the technology understand how it will benefit them both financially and practically,’ said Alan Bourjeily, General Manager, Aviation Engineering Division, DPS.
‘The integration of the various systems will enhance passenger care and overall terminal efficiency, and DPS is honored to have been selected to deploy the Special Airport Systems package. This demonstrates once again that we are ‘Airports Specialists,’’ he added.
