Abu Dhabi Airports, operator of Abu Dhabi's five commercial airports, has announced the appointment of Italian Elena Sorlini as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. Sorlini assumes the role permanently after occupying the same position on an interim basis since June 2023. Since joining Abu Dhabi Airports, Sorlini has overseen the successful opening of the new, state-of-the-art Terminal A at Abu Dhabi International Airport, ranked among the largest airport terminals in the world. Terminal A is capable of handling 45 million passengers a year and up to 79 aircraft. The terminal consolidates the aviation sector's contribution to Abu Dhabi's diversified economy. Elena Sorlini has played an important role in the progressive growth of passenger traffic - whose numbers continue to increase consistently year on year - and in the ability to consistently attract new routes and airlines to Abu Dhabi, not least the French flag carrier Air France.
