ADAC to Showcase Aviation Assets at Paris Air Show

ABU DHABI — The Abu Dhabi Airports Company, or ADAC, will be participating at the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget, where it will be holding talks, signing agreements and making a number of important announcements throughout the week.

The biannual event runs from June 15 to 21, and brings together the world’s leading organisations in the aviation and aerospace industry. ADAC holds a number of diverse aviation and aerospace assets in Abu Dhabi, including five airports, the burgeoning Al Ain Aerospace cluster, and the Abu Dhabi Airport Business and Logistics Park, expected to attract the attention of the global industry.

The Al Ain Aerospace Cluster will be holding a ceremony and a press conference on the first day of the show, announcing a landmark agreement with the bavAIRia Aerospace Cluster, to develop a major aerospace centre in Abu Dhabi.

ADAC will also be showcasing the facilities and services offered to investors interested in the Abu Dhabi Airport Business and Logistics Park. The 12 square kilometre park is situated adjacent to the Abu Dhabi International Airport, and it is a key initiative in the plan to diversify private sector investments in the emirate and generate non-aeronautical revenues.

ADAC’s Airline Marketing Division will be holding a number of meetings at the event to further promote the world-class facilities and services on offer at ADAC’s five airports. Abu Dhabi International Airport has undergone significant development and expansion, with a new second CAT IIIB runway, a new luxurious terminal building catering exclusively for the UAE’s national carrier Etihad Airways, and significant refurbishments and facelifts of the other two terminals.

This development has greatly increased capacity of the airport and allows ADAC to meet the high levels of demand that has led to five new airlines establishing Abu Dhabi routes this year, bringing the total number of airlines operating out of Abu Dhabi International Airport to 45.

“The Paris Air Show is one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the international aviation industry’s calendar. ADAC is very proud to be showcasing our strong portfolio of assets, and we look forward to making a number of significant announcements here at the show,” said ADAC Chairman Khalifa Mohamed Al Mazrouei.
