AIRPORT INFRASTRUCTURE<br />

ABU DHABI<br />

The renovated Al<br />

Reem Lounge was<br />

unveiled in T1 on<br />

October 28 last year.<br />

The on-airport<br />

Premier Inn<br />

offers good value<br />

for money and<br />

excellent views from<br />

its pool deck.<br />

One of the first<br />

projects in the<br />

airport’s expansion<br />

programme was the<br />

distinctive crescentshaped<br />

air traffic<br />

control tower.<br />

The Skypark Plaza is a pleasant place to<br />

shop and pass the time and has a modern<br />

yet distinctly Arabic feel. Dining options<br />

include a McDonald’s, a Hatam traditional<br />

Iranian food outlet and an O’Brien Irishstyle<br />

fast food establishment.<br />

Upgrades<br />

Airport operator ADAC has entered a<br />

partnership with Hong Kong-based Plaza<br />

Premium Lounge Management Limited<br />

(PPLML) for the renovation, management<br />

and running of AUH’s airside hotel and<br />

its lounges in T1 and T2. The newly<br />

renovated Al Reem Lounge in T1 was<br />

unveiled as part of the deal on October<br />

28 last year.<br />

The completely redesigned 4,500 sq<br />

ft (418m 2 ) lounge has a contemporary<br />

look defined by designer Kinney Chan<br />

of KCA Associates and occupies three<br />

levels. Providing comfort and convenience<br />

to travellers and aiming to deliver a<br />

luxurious ambience, the PPLML team<br />

has introduced detailed touches, such as a<br />

large chandelier. An improved buffet area<br />

offers meals ranging from freshly prepared<br />

Arabic, Asian and Continental dishes. The<br />

lounge also features free Wi-Fi, laptops<br />

on request and a fully-serviced shower<br />

room, and mainly caters for Business<br />

Class passengers.<br />

Elsewhere the Al Dhabi and Al Ghazal<br />

Lounges and the airside hotel will be<br />

given a complete facelift. With continuous<br />

improvements aimed at satisfying even the<br />

most demanding passengers’ requirements,<br />

the ‘Abu Dhabi Travellers Welcome’<br />

advertising campaign aims to live up to<br />

its claim.<br />
