Opened in 1994, the airport handles a mix of regional and international passenger flights alongside cargo, general aviation and aviation training activities.
The airport is located about 15 km northwest of central Al Ain, with a single passenger terminal, one main runway and supporting taxiway. Its compact size keeps passenger routes relatively straightforward, with check-in, security, arrivals and ground transport close together.
