  Airport Technology - Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH/OMAA), United Arab Emirates
Following the success of the expansion projects at Abu Dhabi completed in 2002, which included a new 4,100m runway and taxiway, a new satellite terminal, a rapid transit shuttle and a series of 18 new aircraft stands that cost nearly $230m, the passenger traffic was recognised to be more than the airport could handle comfortably.
Consequently the Abu Dhabi Department of Civil Aviation in conjunction with the Supervision Committee for the Expansion of Abu Dhabi International Airport (SCADIA) began, in 2004, to work on a more ambitious expansion plan to transform Abu Dhabi International Airport into a major transport hub for the Middle East for both cargo and passengers.
The new mega midfield terminal complex will be capable of handling 20 million passengers a year initially and then later, as Abu Dhabi develops as a major Middle East transport hub, up to 50 million passengers a year (this will provide major competition to Dubai International airport).
