ABU DHABI — Free wi-fi and Internet access is now available throughout the Abu Dhabi International Airport, The Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) announced on Saturday.
Fifty new walk-up kiosks are now fully operational in Terminal 3, following the success of 15 such kiosks which were launched in Terminal 1 last year.
The expansion of free Internet access at the airport is part of ADAC’s policy to create a technologically-advanced gateway to the world, and gives rise to a leading airport with world-class facilities for all passengers.
The 65 touch screen walk-up kiosks offer 20 minutes of free Internet access per session. The wi-fi provides one hour of access per session, with users able to reconnect for subsequent sessions.
The service has received a positive response from passengers, with 250,000 sessions registered in a recent 20-day period. Approximately 25 per cent of visitors to the airport log in either through laptops, phones or the kiosks.
Shaikha Al Maskari, vice-president of corporate affairs at ADAC, said: “From the current statistics showing the number of people utilising the service, we can tell this is a popular development in our customer service programme.
