"This in turn is further evidence of the airport’s rapidly growing status as a major global transportation hub, and shows why our capacity enhancement programme remains a critical and complex initiative to enable passengers to have the best possible travel experience."

It is predicted that within the next few years, over 30 million passengers per year will use the airport as an origin, destination or transit point for international and domestic flights.

In order to handle increasing passenger traffic Abu Dhabi Airports is currently working on a Midfield Terminal Complex (MTC) project.

The MTC project features a full terminal building (MTB), passenger and cargo facilities, duty free shops and restaurants capable of handling an initial capacity of 30 million passengers per year.
