Zayed International Airport (AUH) serves Abu Dhabi in the UAE. The former Abu Dhabi International Airport name refers to the same airport. Terminal A is the airport’s passenger terminal; confirm the terminal on your own ticket when planning the journey. Prepare the complete destination address for an arrival transfer, or match the airport drop-off to the booking’s check-in instructions.

Terminal A and airlines at Zayed International Airport

The airport airline directory includes Etihad Airways, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, Qatar Airways and Aegean Airlines. This list helps identify airlines associated with AUH; it does not establish a nonstop flight to your destination. Compare the itinerary offered for your dates and review any connection before choosing a ticket.

Checking your terminal

Confirm the terminal information on your e-ticket before making the airport plan. The airport’s Zayed name and the older Abu Dhabi International Airport name refer to AUH. Give your driver both the airport code and the terminal on your ticket, particularly when comparing a flight into Abu Dhabi with one into another emirate.

Connecting through Abu Dhabi

For an onward Etihad flight, follow the Transfer signs and keep the next boarding pass ready. If you already have it, check the flight information screens for the onward gate. If you need a pass or help with your itinerary, go to the transfer desk. Confirm your baggage arrangement with the airline rather than treating all connections as the same.

US-bound flights and preclearance

Zayed International Airport has a US Customs and Border Protection preclearance facility for eligible US-bound flights. The process completes US immigration and customs checks before leaving Abu Dhabi. Follow your airline’s instructions for reaching the facility and its deadlines; an ordinary airport arrival plan may not cover this additional step.

Transport from Zayed International Airport

Public buses A1 and A2

Public bus stops are outside the arrivals area. Routes A1 and A2 connect with central Abu Dhabi. Choose the service and onward stop that suit your accommodation, then check the current journey information before leaving the terminal. Allow for the final leg between the bus stop and your address, especially when carrying several bags.

Official airport taxis

Official taxi bays are outside the arrivals hall. After collecting your baggage, follow the taxi signs and give the driver your full destination in Abu Dhabi. A taxi provides a different arrival plan from a public bus because it can take you to your destination directly. Check the arrangements for your journey before leaving the airport.

Lounges and facilities at Zayed International Airport

Etihad First and Business lounges

Etihad First and Business lounges are available in Terminal A. Admission depends on the conditions attached to your ticket, membership or paid access, so confirm eligibility before planning a lounge visit. An economy booking by itself should not be treated as permission to enter either lounge.

Showers and relaxation

The Etihad lounges include shower facilities and areas to relax. These are lounge facilities, so plan their use together with your admission conditions. Keep the flight information relevant to your onward journey in view and leave time to walk to the boarding area after using the lounge.

Departure dining and shopping

Restaurants, departure shops and duty-free outlets provide options while you wait at AUH. Fit any meal or shopping stop around your flight’s boarding arrangements. For a US-bound flight, complete the required preclearance process according to your airline’s instructions before treating the remaining time as free time.
