Abu Dhabi Airports has reported its 18th consecutive quarter of double-digit passenger growth.
Between July and September, the operator of the emirate’s five commercial airports welcomed 8.49 million passengers — a 10 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.
Zayed International Airport led the surge with 8.35 million travellers and nearly 49,000 flights, while overall aircraft movements across the network rose by 6 per cent.
Cargo operations also saw strong performance, handling more than 200,000 tonnes in the third quarter, up 15.5 per cent year-on-year, bringing the year-to-date total to over 545,000 tonnes.
The growth reflects Abu Dhabi Airports’ strategy to expand global connectivity, adding new airlines such as China Eastern, Air Seychelles and Ethiopian Airlines, along with 12 new destinations.
The third quarter also brought industry recognition, with Zayed International Airport winning Best Airport for Retail at the Frontier Awards and earning ACI Level 2 Accessibility and Level 3 Customer Experience accreditations.
