In addition, Abu Dhabi Airports is lighting up the ATC Tower, projecting the UAE and Saudi flags, preparing special signage and luggage tags for use at check-in counters and baggage claim, and unveiling a unique Snapchat filter designed to celebrate the occasion.
Bryan Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of Abu Dhabi Airports, said: “We have the special privilege of being able to welcome our Saudi brothers and sisters from the moment they set foot in the UAE, and we are delighted to have the opportunity to celebrate this historic occasion with them.”
“Our wide variety of activities and activations embraces the close relationship and unity between the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We look forward to ensuring everyone traveling to or arriving from the Kingdom feels at home in Abu Dhabi, enjoys a smooth and seamless travel experience, and has the opportunity to explore everything the UAE has to offer,” added Thompson.
