Find Major Airports in Abu Dhabi
At Abu Dhabi Airports, we own and operate five airports: Abu Dhabi International Airport, Al Ain International Airport, Al Bateen Executive Airport, Delma Island Airport & Sir Bani Yas Island Airport. However, we will only focus on two major international airports:
Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH)
Abu Dhabi International Airport is the second-largest airport in the UAE, known for its opulence and rapid development. It’s the national carrier of the UAE, serves as the primary base for Etihad Airways, and is strategically situated just east of central Abu Dhabi. Commuters have various transportation options, including public buses, taxis, rental cars, and private chauffeurs.
The airport is approximately a half-hour drive away for those journeying to or from downtown Abu Dhabi. On-site parking is readily available, and a city bus service runs every 40 minutes, operating round the clock for convenient access to the city center. Meanwhile, Yas Island is near the airport, reachable in a mere 15-minute car or taxi ride.
Al Ain International Airport (AAN)
The Al Ain International Airport is Abu Dhabi’s second international airport and is the fourth busiest airport in the U.A.E. It serves as a hub for both civilian and military pilot training, emphasizing its importance in the region’s aviation landscape.
This development is crucial in establishing a sustainable aerospace industry in Abu Dhabi, aligning with the ambition of becoming a global aerospace hub. The airport accommodates nine airlines, including Royal Jordanian, Air India Express, Pakistan International Airlines, Sudan Airways, Jazeera Airways, and Oman Air. The airport operates from a single terminal and boasts a 4,000-meter runway to facilitate aircraft operations.

The Cheapest Time to Fly to Abu Dhabi
The cheapest months to fly to Abu Dhabi are February and November. Specifically, Saudia Airlines offers the lowest fares of $456 in November and $460 in February if departing from LAX. You can find the cheapest prices in the summer (June to August). There aren’t many tourists around, but it’s scorching and sticky outside, making being outdoors uncomfortable.
However, cheap flights to Abu Dhabi in December are not that feasible because it’s the start of Abu Dhabi’s peak season, making it the priciest time to travel from the U.S. to Abu Dhabi.
