Abu Dhabi Airport establishes indoor taxi queue system
|
(CAPA) Abu Dhabi International Airport have introduced an indoor taxi queue system to ensure that passengers remain in air conditioned comfort while queuing for a taxi to their selected destinations.
The new system spares passengers the need to expose themselves to the outdoor climate, particularly during the hot summer months when temperatures would soar to over 40 degrees.
The indoor taxi queue system is the first to be implemented in the UAE and the GCC region. ‘’This is one of many initiatives that ADAC has introduced to enhance the comfort level of passengers,’’ said Mohammed Al Katheeri, Deputy COO of Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC).
To ensure optimal utilization of the indoor taxi queue, ADAC also recruited taxi coordinators and installed signage at key positions to lead passengers to the indoor taxi queue. The taxi coordinators direct passengers to the next available taxi and liaise with taxi companies to ensure that sufficient taxis are available at all times, especially during the peak periods.
Besides improving the level of comfort for passengers, the indoor taxi queue system has also significantly enhanced traffic flow at the arrival area. Proper signage has been installed at key positions to lead passengers to the taxi queue area.
The new system is the latest addition in a series of internal improvements including;free internet and TV zones, dedicated smoking areas, new directory signs, and dedicated pre-check-in security points for premium passengers were among the recent initiatives introduced in the past year.
