Strong half year performance by Zayed International Airport

Nearly 14 million passengers passed through Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport in the first half of 2024.

The gateway welcomed 13.7 million passengers between January and the end of June – a significant 33.8% rise on the same period last year.

This growth was complemented by a 24.3% rise in flight movements, recording 84,286 movements during H1 2024.

In addition to the surge in passenger numbers, Abu Dhabi Airports expanded its customer base by welcoming new airlines and introducing new routes. Notably, US Bangla now offers flights to Chittagong and Dhaka, and British Airways has commenced daily flights to London Heathrow.

Elena Sorlini, managing director and CEO of Abu Dhabi Airports, said: “H1 results proves the continued success of Abu Dhabi Airports, increasingly attracting a growing number of airlines and passengers from around the world.

Abu Dhabi Airports will continue to invest in its facilities and services to enhance the passenger experience and wider value proposition to satisfy existing airline partners and common customers as well as attract new ones.

“With these strong results, the airport group is well-positioned for further growth and success in the future.”
