Passenger traffic at Al Bateen Executive Airport in the UAE grew 9 per cent in 2015 over the previous year.
The dedicated business aviation airport in Abu Dhabi reported that arriving passenger traffic stayed above 7,600 passengers in each of the final four months of 2015, with November clocking the highest traffic of 9,454 travellers across its terminals.
Comprised of both the VIP and Sheikh Zayed Terminals, the airport welcomed 2,703 aircraft onto its tarmac and 43,278 passengers to its gates in 2015. Sheikh Zayed Terminal accounted for 80.6 per cent of all arriving passengers throughout the year, with the remaining proportion of travellers passing through the VIP Terminal.
“The steady influx of passengers at Al Bateen Executive Airport is testament to its world-class services, top-quality facilities and strategic location as the region’s only airport tailor-made for the business aviation industry,” said Ahmad Al Haddabi, Chief Operations Officer at Abu Dhabi Airports.
With a current stand capacity for up to 90 private jets, Al Bateen Executive Airport features a custom fixed base operations (FBO) service provider, which consolidates the needs of business aviation customers. The offering facilitates the fastest possible door-to-door transit time for passengers and crew.
In March 2016, the airport will host the Abu Dhabi Air Expo 2016 and the Middle East Aviation Careers Conference, two keynote events as part of the first-ever Abu Dhabi Aviation and Aerospace Week.
