Skycity LLC, the latest-formed subsidiary under Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC), aims to establish and operate Airport Free Zones, Business Parks and “One-Stop-Shop” Services in Abu Dhabi - part of the Emirate’s plans to establish itself as a dynamic business centre and the overall Abu Dhabi 2030 vision.

The Abu Dhabi Executive Council resolution no. 61 for the year 2010 announced ADAC’s Abu Dhabi International, Al Ain International and Al Bateen Executive Jet Airports as Free Zone areas. Skycity is mandated to set up Free Zones and provide all required Free Zone services to these airports and their stakeholders, beginning with Abu Dhabi International Airport (ADIA).

Skycity’s jurisdiction spreads across more than 12km2 around ADIA, covering five commercial districts: Logistics Park, T3 Business Park, Southside Mixed Use Development, Al Falah District and Airport City.

Target Sectors

Skycity’s creation aims to establish a unique and preferred business destination for international and local organisations in the aviation, aerospace and airport services, as well as logistics, cargo and freight sectors. Other target sectors cover all aviation-friendly and light industrial activities seeking to gain advantage from close proximity to the airport for import and export requirements.

Products and Services

Skycity provides a wide range of facilities and infrastructure such as logistics and warehousing units, commercial offices, land for development, and a full range of essential amenities to serve everyday business needs. Skycity also delivers the full spectrum of Free Zone services such as company registration, licensing, leasing and rapid visa processing for employees in a “One-Stop-Shop” environment.

Benefits

Companies choosing to set up at any of Skycity’s projects essentially enjoy Free Zone benefits like 100% duties and tax exemptions, foreign ownership, repatriation of capital and profits, and other benefits traditionally offered at any Free Zone setup.
