Abu Dhabi: In a
first-of-its-kind, the Abu Dhabi Airports Company has introduced
sleeping pods at the international airport in the emirate.
The "GoSleep" sleeping pod is the latest, state-of-the-art chair
that converts into a flat bed. Ten sleeping pods have been
installed in Terminal 3 and in the Al Dhabi Lounge in Terminal 1
at the airport, with a further 35 to be installed later this year.
The sleeping pods are easy to operate and feature a partial or
fully enclosed sliding shade that isolates the customer from
noise, light and crowds.
After an initial launch phase, the chairs will be upgraded to
include internet access, will include secure storage for luggage
and other valuables, and will allow customers to charge their
laptops, mobile telephones, and other electronic devices.
Passengers will be able to use the chairs at a rate of 45 dirhams
per hour.
