Abu Dhabi International (AUH) functions as the emirate’s primary international gateway and a regional hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers, regional airlines, and growing low-cost services; Etihad Airways is the most prominent operator. The airport sits about 30–35 km east of downtown Abu Dhabi, with taxi transfers typically taking 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly AED 60–100; shuttle buses and private transfers can be cheaper per person but vary by route. AUH usually offers a comfortable, modern terminal experience and extensive lounges, though peak periods can mean longer queues. For domestic or ultra‑low‑cost options, some travelers compare fares via Dubai’s airports, which may be cheaper but are considerably farther away.
