Airports

Sir Bani Yas Island Airport is located 250 km southwest of Abu Dhabi and caters mainly to tourism traffic. Sir Bani Yas Island Airport was the first airport within the United Arab Emirates to be certified for Aerodrome Flight Information Services which are provided by GANS.

Lying 250 km southwest of Abu Dhabi, Delma Island Airport may only handle 180 movements per month, but it provides a critical link for the 6,000 island residents, providing them with a flight connection to the mainland. GANS has been providing Aerodrome Control Services at Delma Airport since 2009 for which civil certification of the ATC Service was achieved in 2016.

The only exclusive business aviation airport in the Middle East, Al Bateen Executive Airport located in Abu Dhabi recorded over 29,000 aircraft movements in 2017. The Airport regularly plays hosts to high-profile events such as the Abu Dhabi Air Expo and the Red Bull Air Race. GANS is responsible for 24/7 Aerodrome Control Service and ANS Engineering.

Located 18km northwest of Al Ain City, Al Ain International Airport is Abu Dhabi’s second international airport. In addition to hosting two scheduled airlines, Al Ain International Airport is also home to a number of civilian and military flying and training organisations: Khalifa Bin Zayed Flying Academy, Etihad Flight College, and Horizon Flight Training Academy. Due to the nature of flying and training, aircraft movements are often in excess of 600 movements per day, all of which are accommodated on a single runway and normally during daylight hours only. Al Ain International Airport is also undergoing major infrastructural changes to accommodate a new VVIP terminal and MOR facilities as part of the aerospace park. GANS provides Aerodrome Services and ANS Engineering Services at Al Ain.
