Abu Dhabi International Airport

Abu Dhabi

The airport's new Midfield Terminal has been described as the "crown jewel" of the public infrastructure projects undertaken to diversify the emirate's economy away from oil into areas like tourism. It's a fitting description for this architectural gem set on a desert plateau, its illuminated interior visible from 10 miles away.

The Midfield Terminal is expected to increase the airport's capacity to 30 million passengers a year, up from the current 20 million. The number could eventually reach 60 million or more.

In 2013, Otis won the contract to supply the state-of-the-art systems needed to move millions of people a year through the new terminal: 161 lifts, 122 escalators and 58 moving walkways.

Stretching across more than 13 square miles, the X-shaped terminal will include 65 aircraft gates. The curved roof of the departure hall, soaring 50 metres high and largely column free, appears to float across 18 steel arches, giving the building an open, outdoor feel.

City terminal

Pasagerii pot evita des întâlnita criza de timp, efectuând check-in-ul cu până la 24 de ore înainte de zborul lor la City Terminal din centrul orașului Abu Dhabi, situat la aproximativ 25 de mile de aeroport. Aici ai posibilitatea lăsării bagajelor, un lounge și servicii de transport. Odată ce aceste detalii sunt pregătite, călătorii pot ajunge la aeroport cu doar o oră înainte de plecarea avionului.

Un proiect de colaborare

Echipele Otis și Carrier din Orientul Mijlociu, Turcia, China și Statele Unite au colaborat la noul proiect Midfield Terminal.
Otis are o relație lungă cu aeroportul. În 1972, am instalat escalatoarele și trotuarele rulante în locația inițială a aeroportului. Această facilitate a devenit mai târziu ceea ce este astăzi Aeroportul Executiv Al Bateen, utilizat în principal de jeturi de afaceri private.
