Al Bateen facility in Abu Dhabi will be developed as an exclusive corporate jet facility |
Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC), established by the Government of Abu Dhabi to spearhead the redevelopment of the Emirate's aviation industry, has revealed plans to establish the Middle East's first dedicated executive airport at Al Bateen military airbase just 10 km away from Abu Dhabi city centre. The Bateen facility will be developed as an exclusive corporate jet facility and ADAC will invest more than Dh200 million in additional facilities at the airport that has been a military airbase.
ADAC will develop a ‘one-stop shop' business jet facility, offering VVIP and VIP passenger terminals, airport services, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), fuel, handling and all other fixed-base operational services. The 3,200 m runway can accommodate a range of aircraft types and sizes.
ADAC's initial investment will see upgrades to the airfield infrastructure including runway surfacing, lighting & electrical power and operational equipment, as well as enhancing terminal facilities and adding stands. Over the longer term, the company will support the development of a corporate jet maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) centre at the airport.
