ABU DHABI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT’S US CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION FACILITY PROVIDES FURTHER CONVENIENCE FOR ETIHAD AIRWAYS

Travellers flying to Etihad Airways’ destinations in the U.S.A. will now enjoy the added convenience of being pre-cleared before boarding their flights through Abu Dhabi International Airport’s United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Facility located at Terminal 3.

This covers passengers bound for Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Washington D.C.As a result, when Etihad Airways’ guests arrive in the US, they will be treated like domestic arrivals, with shorter connection times possible for onward flights within the mainland, as well as luggage arriving at the final destination. 

Additionally, with Automated Passport Control (APC) kiosks also available at the Abu Dhabi International Airport, Etihad Airways’ passengers travelling from the U.S, and other eligible Visa Waiver Program international passengers can also experience even shorter wait times and faster processing when passing through the airport of the capital city of the UAE.

As the first purpose-built facility of its kind in the region, Abu Dhabi International Airport is one of only a handful of airports outside North America that offer the CBP facility. Such facility will enable guests flying to all Etihad Airways’ destinations in the U.S.A. to worry less about long queues and focus more on experiencing the airline’s award-winning hospitality.

Etihad Airways offers five daily flights from Kuwait to Abu Dhabi, providing convenient connection to daily flights to Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington D.C., besides its double daily flights to New York and three flights a weekl to Dallas.
