Al Ain International Airport (AAN) publishes no smoking area, indoors or after security, and no facility is confirmed by Abu Dhabi Airports, the airport’s operator.
Opened in 1994, AAN is Abu Dhabi’s second international airport, about 18km northwest of Al Ain city. It is a small, single-terminal airport with 10 check-in desks and three gates. Abu Dhabi Airports’ own page for the airport lists two scheduled airlines currently operating there, with more planned, and notes the airport’s role as a base for pilot training and the neighbouring Nibras Al Ain Aerospace Park.
Terminal and After Security
AAN’s single terminal handles check-in, security screening and boarding in one building. Abu Dhabi Airports’ own page for the airport lists no smoking room or lounge smoking area at any point past the checkpoint; no such facility is confirmed there.
Landside, Before Security
Abu Dhabi Airports’ own page for the airport lists no landside smoking area either, and no such facility is confirmed there.
E-Cigarettes and Vaping
E-cigarettes are legal to buy and use across the UAE. Abu Dhabi Airports’ own page for AAN documents no smoking facility of any kind, so no vaping area is confirmed there either.
For a UAE airport with a confirmed indoor smoking room, see Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport (AUH).
