Abu Dhabi airport passenger traffic up 27pc in H1
ABU DHABI — Abu Dhabi International Airport handled a total of 552,797 passengers in June 2007, a 26 per cent rise over the 439,556 passengers seen in June 2006 while the number of aircraft movements increased four per cent during the same period, rising from 6,286 in June 2006 to 6,538.
During the first half of 2007 (January- June) total passenger traffic reached the milestone of 3.071 million, an increase of 27 per cent over the 2.414 million passengers in the same period in 2006. In the same period aircraft movements increased seven per cent to 39,300. Cargo volume increased to 27,589 metric tonnes in June 2007 from 21,062 tonnes last year, a growth of 31 per cent. For the half year, cargo reached 149,210 tonnes a 34 per cent growth over last year.
The record growth the airport has achieved in the first half of 2007, which crossed the three million mark, is largely driven by the expansion of Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates and one of the fastest growing airlines in the world. Since the inaugural flight in November 2003, the airline has increased the number of destinations it flies to, adding at least one route each month. It currently flies to 45 destinations across Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and North America.
Besides Etihad, other airlines are being attracted to Abu Dhabi.
