Al Bateen Executive Airport is gearing up for the 2011 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that will be held from 11-13 November. The executive airport is expecting a surge in aircraft traffic leading up to and during the Grand Prix, as last year the business aviation airport handled nearly 100 movements throughout the F1 week.
Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) and Czech Airlines in cooperation with Etihad Airways today launched the airline's operations from Abu Dhabi International Airport in a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by senior members from ADAC, Czech Airlines, and Etihad Airways.
Emirates' extensive African network is to be boosted again with the launch of two new destinations – Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, and Harare, the capital city of Zimbabwe.
