Abu Dhabi Airports has awarded the Midfield Terminal Building’s lounge construction and management contract to a joint venture between National Aviation Services (NAS) and Airport Dimensions.

Spanning over 3,500 sq m, the new lounge will be located at the heart of the new Midfield Terminal, offering access to independent travellers, regardless of the airline they are travelling with or the class of their ticket. It is accessible to passengers who are departing or transiting through Abu Dhabi International Airport, forming a significant part of the airport’s world-class facilities.

Bryan Thompson, CEO of Abu Dhabi Airports, comments: “Our partnership with NAS and Airport Dimensions represents an exciting development for the future passengers of the Midfield Terminal, as the new lounge will provide an unparalleled customer experience for those travelling through Abu Dhabi International Airport.”

“We are pleased to be able to work with both NAS and Airport Dimensions on the construction and management of the new lounge. NAS’ operations within the Middle East mean that its regional knowledge will be invaluable in bringing this project to completion, whilst Airport Dimensions’ extensive expertise in airport lounge design and management will help to create a lounge that leaves passengers refreshed,” he added.

Abu Dhabi Airports’ partnership with NAS and Airport Dimensions to develop and operate the new lounge represents Airport Dimensions’ first project in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region, adding to its global portfolio of 22 lounges. Airport Dimensions manages lounges at some of the world’s busiest airports, including London Heathrow and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. NAS currently operates 40 lounges across Africa, Middle East and Asia, including the VIP Terminal with meet-and-assist services at the Abu Dhabi International Airport.
