Flying private from AUH.
Zayed International (OMAA) is an airport used for private flights serving Abu Dhabi.
Zayed International is Abu Dhabi's main airline hub, about 31 km from the city, and private passengers use the Royal Jet FBO and its VIP lounges.
Customs is cleared inside the FBO, typically in 15 to 20 minutes, but the airport can be busy at airline peaks, so Al Bateen, closer to the city centre, is often the better choice.
Other options in Abu Dhabi include Al Bateen Executive (AZI). Flights are operated by GCAA-licensed operators.
