AIRPORT RENAMED

Abu Dhabi's Al Bateen airbase business jet airport is to be renamed City Airport, Abu Dhabi in an attempt "to communicate the airport's convenient location, just 10km [6 miles] from the heart of the city of Abu Dhabi, and its proximity to upcoming areas of the city", says airport owner Abu Dhabi Airports.
