In support of Abu Dhabi’s Economic Vision 2030, we established ADAFZ to own, operate, develop and manage Free Zone districts in Zayed International Airport (AUH), Al Bateen Executive Airport (AZI) and Al Ain International Airport (AAN).


ADAFZ manages a property portfolio of nearly 90 sqkm, bringing together a range of world-class products and facilities, from fully serviced business centres and development plots to aircraft hangars and more, to deliver outstanding returns on investment for our tenants.
The ADAFZ One-Stop Shop acts as a centralized service portal to streamline company setup and daily operations. Designed to eliminate delays, it provides businesses with direct access to trade licensing, company registration, visa processing, and property leasing through a single dedicated channel. By coordinating directly with customs and regulatory authorities, the platform allows foreign investors and logistics companies to establish their presence quickly and manage ongoing compliance efficiently across Abu Dhabi's airport free zones.
In 2010, the Abu Dhabi Executive Council designated Zayed International, Al Ain International and Al Bateen Executive Airports as Free Zone areas. The zone was established in 2012 as part of the emirate's economic diversification strategy and is now home to businesses across a wide range of sectors.
Unlike any other free zone in the emirate, ADAFZ offers direct proximity to international airports — a key advantage for clients seeking a strategic hub and gateway to the Middle East.
ADAFZ provides a distinctive, secure business destination for local and international organisations across the following sectors:
