Abu Dhabi Airports Company (Adac) is showcasing Al Ain International Airport at its first Low Cost Airlines World Mena Conference, which is being held in Al Ain, from November 3 to 5.

The conference has been designed to bring together senior management of low cost airlines, airport operators and industry suppliers from around the world.

Adac had decided to host this important conference because it takes place in one of the aviation industry’s most dynamic markets, stated Khalifa Al Mazrouei, chairman of Adac.

“We share the commitment of all conference participants to meet the needs of a price sensitive market, and to provide cost-effective solutions to travellers throughout the region,” he added.

“Aircraft arriving into Al Ain airport experience no holding patterns and taxi times less than three minutes; thus potentially saving over $1 million in fuel consumption compared to other UAE airports,” said Rudy Vercelli, Adac CEO.

Al Ain International Airport is about an hour’s drive from both Abu Dhabi and Dubai while also being conveniently situated on the doorstep of Oman. Operating 24 hours a day, its easily accessible single terminal has a capacity to handle over 1,000 passengers per hour, said a statement.-TradeArabia News Service
