A structure worthy as the new home for Etihad Airways is two years away from completion, and steady progress is being made at the Dh19.1 billion Abu Dhabi Airports Midfield Terminal complex.
A tour inside the evolving space-age structure offered a glimpse of what awaits arrivals when the airport opens in 2019.
Four themed areas will dominate the 742,000 square metres, with one each pointing in the direction of the ocean, city, oasis and desert.
The supersized structure’s cross-shaped design is expecting to reduce transit times between check-in and departure gates.
