Welcoming passengers with ease
Abu Dhabi International Airport wanted to transform its arrivals experience. The second phase of the Terminal 1 refurbishment created a new arrivals hall and tunnel, designed to give passengers more space, better facilities and seamless access to onward travel.

Upgrading the passenger journey
The arrivals hall includes commercial outlets, restrooms, prayer rooms and ground transport connections. A new vertical core links the departures level with the arrivals hall below. It houses high-capacity lifts, moving walkways and stairs, making transfers smooth and efficient. Together, these upgrades give arriving passengers a faster, more comfortable journey through the airport.
Controlling costs with confidence
We provided cost management services throughout the project. We benchmarked contractor tenders, priced the project documents and kept the design aligned with the budget. Our work gave the client certainty that quality improvements could be delivered without overspend.
A better experience for travellers
The new arrivals hall now sets a higher standard for service at Abu Dhabi International Airport. Passengers benefit from a calm, modern space with easy connections and welcoming facilities, while the client can rely on a cost-efficient project that meets growing demand.
