“ADAC’s ongoing commitment to promote Al Bateen as the leading executive airport in the region by offering exceptional facilities and competitive pricing structures, combined with Abu Dhabi’s developing calendar of international events, made 2010 a transformational year in the airport’s history.
“The year end performance report for Al Bateen Executive Airport indicated that the airport registered 7,970 commercial aircraft movements in 2010.”
The airport has recently installed a new instrumental landing system (ILS) and new developments include a crew lounge and hangar refurbishments.
