U.S. IMMIGRATION PRECLEARANCE
NOW AT ABU DHABI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Now all Etihad Airways guests flying to select destinations
in the U.S. will have access to Abu Dhabi International
Airport’s United States Preclearance facility located at
Terminal 3.
The new facility enables guests flying Etihad Airways
to preclear the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
formalities before boarding their flights in Abu Dhabi.
Upon arrival in the U.S., guests will be treated as though
they are domestic arrivals. Shorter connection times are
possible for onward flights in the U.S., with their luggage
arriving at the final destination.
As the first facility of its kind in the region, guests can
experience an easier journey with the World’s Leading
Airline* to Washington DC, Chicago and New York. Future
U.S. destinations will also benefit from the facility.
