Abu Dhabi Airport and Etihad Airways have inaugurated a new U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Pre-Clearance facility at the Abu Dhabi Zayed International Airport, moving from an older facility.
Passengers on Etihad Airways’ direct flights to the United States can now receive pre-approval for entry before departure. The facility features facial comparison and biometric technology platforms, enhancing security and efficiency. This eliminates the need to queue for entry inspection after arriving at airports in the United States.
It becomes the only pre-clearance facility in Asia and the Middle East, increasing competitiveness for travelers from the Middle East, India, and Asia.
