How you arrive
- Abu Dhabi●AUH · OMAA
- Abu Dhabi Al BateenAZI · OMAD
Abu Dhabi International (AUH) is the principal gateway, and it is about ten minutes from Yas Island and the Grand Prix circuit, making it the natural choice for race weekend arrivals. Al Bateen (AZI) is the executive airport within the city itself, better suited to travellers whose plans centre on central Abu Dhabi rather than Yas Island. Both airports keep the last mile short, so the choice comes down to whether your itinerary leans toward the circuit or the city.
When to go
The private flying season for Abu Dhabi runs from October to April, with the Grand Prix weekend at Yas Marina in late November or early December the busiest point of the year. Travellers aiming for race weekend should book well ahead, as aircraft availability tightens considerably during that period.
