Commenting on the official opening, HE Ali Majed Al Mansoori, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Airports, said: "The main objective behind this new proposition is to enhance the service level offered at Abu Dhabi International Airport to passengers from all travelling classes. Through the new VIP Terminal, Abu Dhabi Airports aims to provide the ultimate in privacy, luxury and security through unique personalized services.”

The new 924 square metre facility is set to boost the airport’s capacity and encourage even more passengers to use the airport. It will be operated by National Aviation Services (NAS), an internationally recognized aviation services provider, which currently provides Golden Class services in Terminals 1 and 3.

All passengers, regardless of their ticket class or destination and airline, can use the terminal by paying a pre-set fee. The terminal has dedicated facilities, separate from those of Terminals 1 and 3, as it includes its own drop off area accessed via a roadway built specifically to accommodate it. It also offers immigration, police and baggage handling facilities. Mercedes Benz limousine services will be used to ferry passengers to and from the terminal and aircraft and they will be chaperoned by a special services agent.

The new terminal will offer convenience, efficiency and luxury in an exclusive environment, in line with Abu Dhabi Airports’ commitment to delivering tailor-made services to the highest standards.

Hassan El-Houry, Chief Executive Officer of National Aviation Services said: “NAS is proud to partner with Abu Dhabi Airports once again in our mutual endeavor 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 travelers, on par with other leading airports around the world. With its seamless immigration process, 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. It is a moment of pride for everyone involved in the dynamic growth of Abu Dhabi International Airport.”
