Air India Express flights arriving in Abu Dhabi and leaving from the UAE capital will now use Terminal 1 at Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH), an announcement said.

 

Originally the airline departed from Terminal 1, and arrived at Terminal 2. 

 

The transition from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1 for the arrivals occurred on September 30 and is in line with Abu Dhabi Airports’ commitment to ensuring quality service and a seamless passenger experience, said an Abu Dhabi Airports statement.

 

The Indian Subcontinent remains one of the most popular destinations for travellers departing from AUH, reflecting the close cultural and economic ties between the UAE and India. The Indian flag carrier operates seven daily flights between Abu Dhabi and six destinations in India, including New Delhi, Cochin, Kannur, Mangalore, Trivandrum and Calicut. 

 

Ahmed Al Shamsi, acting chief operations officer at Abu Dhabi Airports, said: “At Abu Dhabi Airports we are committed to enriching passenger experiences and providing world class services. As one of our closest partners, we are pleased to announce Air India Express’ relocation to Terminal 1 and look forward to ensuring its guests enjoy a convenient and entertaining travel experience through Abu Dhabi International Airport.”

 

P A Umadevi, airport manager for Air India & Air India Express operations, said: “Air India Express is pleased to announce the transition of its arriving flights to Terminal 1 at Abu Dhabi International Airport, which reflects our commitment to providing exceptional services to our passengers. The level of services offered to us by Abu Dhabi Airports helps us ensure our customers satisfaction and meet the rising demand in the Abu Dhabi market.” - TradeArabia News Service
