Air traffic at Abu Dhabi International Airport is expected to surge almost 400 per cent during the festive season, buoyed by passenger demand and significant capacity expansion.

About 32,000 passengers and 102 flights will pass through Abu Dhabi airport between December 22 and January 2, Abu Dhabi Airports, the operator of AUH, which is part of the emirate's holding company ADQ, said on Thursday.
