Life of an airport: Abu Dhabi.

 

 

Whilst waiting for my (delayed) flight back to LHR, I was just bored really and just decided to watch all the activity around our aircraft that was being prepared for flight, so took a few photos of these guys hard at work, in very hot conditions.

Using an airbridge!…Luxury! My last return trip using Etihad involved 4 poxy bus trips to or from planes parked away from the terminals for no apparent reason. … Not really the reason for me changing to Emirates of late, but I let them know and think that it was a major factor!

I shall be there soon myself en-route back to LOS.

Years ago, they were very anti photographs in these Middle Eastern airports.

As airports go, I don't think much of AUH, now the new Dubai terminal is something else.

Interesting the contrast between the Ground Crew on the front undercarraiage and the size of the Tyres compared to him up to his shoulders
