## Description

A 45.9 percent year-on-year jump in cargo tonnage in early 2026 put Al Ain International Airport (AAN) on the radar of Gulf freight planners. The airport serves the UAE's garden city of Al Ain, close to the Oman border, with passenger links to South Asia and the Levant operated by carriers such as Royal Jordanian and Air India Express. Freight moves through a compact 2,000-square-metre cargo terminal, and operator Abu Dhabi Airports has folded cargo upgrades into a five-year development plan reviewed in 2025. Trucking connections along the E22 and E66 motorways reach Zayed International (AUH) and Al Maktoum (DWC) in about 90 minutes, which is where heavy or outsize consignments should still be routed. For regional part-loads and cross-border traffic with Oman, AAN is a workable and uncongested alternative.
