Abu Dhabi Airport Terminal A is looking for people to volunteer to test its new Terminal A security screening, checking-in, luggage, customs, immigration and departure services.
Abu Dhabi Airport Terminal A is carrying out the largest live trial and testing exercise in its history, with the participation of over 6,000 participants from the Abu Dhabi community prior to its inauguration in November.
“Our commitment to excellence has driven our journey to prepare for Terminal A’s opening, as we are focused on conducting extensive large-scale assessments to ensure the speed, efficiency and delivery of operations.
I would like to thank the volunteers who have participated in these trials for their unwavering support as we gear up to welcome passengers to Terminal A in November.” said by Elena Sorlini, Managing Director and Interim CEO at Abu Dhabi Airports
As part of trials, volunteers at Abu Dhabi Airport will test the speed and accuracy of document and customs inspections for passengers at the immigration counter. While boarding and departure volunteers will test the boarding passes and will evaluate the procedural readiness to communicate flight information changes.

Abu Dhabi Aiport Terminal A, previously known as Midfield Terminal covers 742,000 square meters of built-up area and has the capacity to handle 11,000 passengers per hour, which is 45 million passengers per year and can operate 79 aircraft at any given time.
Abu Dhabi Airports will continue to conduct extensive testing of Terminal A’s facilities in September and October, and volunteers are welcome to participate by registering online at Volunteers.ae
These operational trials plays a crucial role in simulations designed to stress-test equipment, personnel, and procedures in key operating areas of the terminal. In addition to Abu Dhabi Airports employees, the volunteers range from students, families, and aviation ecosystem stakeholders.
