ETIHAD AIRWAYS has stolen a march on its Gulf area rivals by introducing a 24-city centre check-in at Dubai.
It is one of few facilities of its kind in the world where passengers have a choice of airports in two different countries. Their flights can depart from the international airport in Dubai itself, or neighbouring Abu Dhabi.
The new facility is located on the ground floor of Chelsea Towers on Dubai”s Sheikh Zayed Road and includes ticketing, security screening, and baggage check-in. Diamond and Pearl Zone Guests will also have access to extensive premium lounge facilities. Air-conditioned luxury coaches and limousines are the mode of transport.
A similar facility in Abu Dhabi is being considered. The new Dubai check-in facility was formally inaugurated by H.H. Dr. Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saif Al Nahyan, chairman of Etihad Airways.
