Abu Dhabi Airports Free Zone

Abu Dhabi Airports Free Zone (ADAFZ) is a government-owned free zone designed to support aviation-linked, logistics, and trade-focused businesses. Its airport-centric locations enable fast global connectivity and efficient cargo movement.

Licenses are issued only by the Abu Dhabi Airports Free Zone Authority. Easy Setup acts as a business setup consultant and facilitator and does not issue licenses. This ensures regulatory clarity and compliance.

ADAFZ supports aviation & aerospace services, logistics, freight & cargo handling, trading & distribution, maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) support, light manufacturing & assembly (activity-dependent), and professional & support services. We confirm activity eligibility and approvals before submission.

ADAFZ offers 100% foreign ownership with no local sponsor required. This makes it ideal for international aviation, logistics, and trading companies.

ADAFZ offers offices, warehouses, and logistics & airside facilities (subject to approval). Visa allocation depends on facility type and size, so choosing the right option is important for your business needs.

ADAFZ allows investor visas, employment visas, and family visas (subject to eligibility). The number of visas depends on your facility size and license type.

ADAFZ offers direct airport access for time-critical operations, is ideal for aviation, logistics & trade businesses, has strong regulatory and banking acceptance, strategic Abu Dhabi connectivity, and scalable infrastructure for growing operations.

ADAFZ company formation typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on your documentation readiness and facility selection. Easy Setup manages the entire process end to end for a smooth experience.
