The Etihad central airport in Abu Dhabi has a United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility at Terminal 3. It is one of a few airports in the world and the only one in the Middle East to offer a preclearance facility targeted at passengers heading to the United States.
In a nutshell the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility at the Etihad central airport allows passengers flying to the United States to perform all required immigration, customs and agriculture inspections prior to departure in Abu Dhabi.
This offers convenience to passengers as they will be processed faster on arrival to the United States as they will be treated more like domestic passengers than international passengers because of the pre-clearance.
