Al Bateen Executive Airport, is a remarkable aviation facility in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Located approximately 6.5 nautical miles southeast of the city center, it’s a dedicated international airport catering to business jet traffic. The airport is situated on Abu Dhabi Island and has a rich history that dates back to its inception in the 1970s when it first opened its doors to replace the city’s previous airport.
Initially inaugurated in 1970 as Abu Dhabi International Airport, it served as an important aviation hub for the region. However, in 1982, a new airport was established on the mainland to handle the growing air traffic, and Al Bateen transitioned into a military airbase known as Bateen Air Base in 1983. During the Gulf War in 1990, the United States Air Force deployed units to Al Bateen in preparation for the conflict. The airport remained under military control until 2008 when it was repurposed as a civilian airport, focusing primarily on executive jet operations, and thus named Al Bateen Executive Airport.
Al Bateen Executive Airport is home to various tenants, including a UAE Naval Aviation helicopter squadron and the Abu Dhabi Police Department air wing. While it doesn’t serve commercial passenger airlines, it does host services like private jet operations. For instance, Rotana Jet moved its scheduled commercial operations to Abu Dhabi International Airport Terminal 2 in 2014. Moreover, the airport made headlines for being a vital location for the final preparations and take-off of the Solar Impulse 2, a groundbreaking Swiss experimental solar-powered aircraft that embarked on an Around the World circumnavigation attempt, showcasing the airport’s unique and diverse role in the world of aviation. In recent years, it has continued to evolve as a center for executive jet services, with Dubai-based aviation company Jetex announcing the opening of a private terminal at the airport in April 2023.
