In line with the aim to enhance efficiency for customers, the airport also offers a storage facility for transit travellers. Those who are stopping over the UAE on long-haul flights to another destination, and wish to explore the country without lugging around suitcases, can avail this facility.
Zayed International Airport, formerly Abu Dhabi International Airport, was renamed on February 9, after the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
The change coincided "with the official opening ceremony of the new Terminal A”, according to the Abu Dhabi Government Media Office. The swanky terminal was operationally opened on November 1.
