Passenger traffic at Abu Dhabi International Airport in July rose by 13.3 percent, with 1.2 million passengers passing through it, officials said.

Aircraft movements also continued to grow with a 3.1 percent increase in July, totalling 9,700 movements, the Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) said in a report Wednesday.

The growth is due to new airlines, increased frequencies, school holidays and the holy month of Ramadan, it said.
