The new 924m² facility will help the airport increase its capacity. The NAS will operate the terminal that currently provides ‘Golden Class’ services in Terminals 1 and 3.

The terminal can be used by all passengers, regardless of their ticket class or destination and airline by paying a pre-set fee. It will have special facilities that will be separated from the facilities at the other terminals.

"Abu Dhabi Airports aims to provide the ultimate in privacy, luxury and security through unique personalised services."

It will also offer immigration, police and baggage handling facilities. Passengers will be ferried in Mercedes Benz limousines to and from the terminal and aircraft and will be chaperoned by a special services agent.

Abu Dhabi Airports chairman Ali Majed Al Mansoori said: "The main objective behind this new proposition is to enhance the service level offered at Abu Dhabi International Airport to passengers from all travelling classes.
