Passenger numbers at Etihad's hub of Abu Dhabi International airport grew nearly a fifth in August over the same month last year to 1.54 million.
The five busiest destinations from Abu Dhabi in August were Bangkok, London, Doha, Milan and Bahrain. Cargo traffic grew almost 30% at the airport in August.
The airport's chief operations officer Ahmad Al Haddabi says: “The robust growth in August was primarily due to the busy Eid holiday and the beginning of the ‘back to school’ season."
