November 1, 2023, is when Terminal A is scheduled to open….
Renaming the airport is the order of UAE President HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as the new airport terminal in Abu Dhabi is scheduled to open on November 1, 2023.
The airport, which was formerly known as Abu Dhabi International Airport, will change its name to Zayed International Airport in February 2024. Naturally, this is a tribute to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who passed away.
On February 9, 2024, following Terminal A’s formal opening ceremony—also known as the Midfield Terminal—the new name will go into effect.
Prior to its official opening on October 31, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, also had a tour of the airport. The world-class facilities and services at the airport, along with its sustainable infrastructure, were briefed to the Crown Prince.
The 742,000 square meter airport can accommodate up to 45 million passengers annually. It will have the capacity to hold 79 aircraft at once.
Travelers using the airport will have a hassle-free trip. The terminal will feature state-of-the-art technology that will make you feel as though you’re boarding a spacecraft. Passengers will breeze through airport formalities thanks to an extremely intelligent, networked biometric system. They will also benefit from a digitalized experience that includes self-service kiosks, streamlined security checkpoints, and a state-of-the-art baggage handling system that will take care of them from the moment they arrive at the airport until they board the plane. This gives you lots of time to take advantage of the amenities that the new terminal has to offer.
Due to its prominent position in the summer film Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Abu Dhabi’s Midfield Terminal has been viewed by millions of people worldwide even though it opened on November 1. One of the most thrilling action scenes in the movie took place against the stunningly curved roof of the terminal, which spans about 315 meters. During seven days of intense filming back in 2021, 762 cast members, crew members, and suppliers—including the main character, Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt—went into production. The movie star landed at the terminal on the very first flight to arrive in Abu Dhabi back in June 2023.

Abu Dhabi Airport’s transformation into Zayed International Airport is a major aviation milestone in the UAE. This change shows the UAE’s dedication to its rich history and visionary leadership and its desire to become a global aviation hub.
Renaming the airport after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the UAE’s founder, is a powerful tribute. Sheikh Zayed’s visionary leadership helped the UAE become a global power. Renaming the airport after him honors his national service.
The UAE’s aviation infrastructure investment is also shown by the transformation. Zayed International Airport will represent industry innovation, efficiency, and excellence. This aligns with the UAE’s goals of becoming a global aviation leader, improving connectivity, and boosting economic growth.
The UAE wants to provide world-class services to passengers and air cargo, and Zayed International Airport represents that.
