## Description

Gulfstreams and Global Expresses, not freighters, define the apron at Al Bateen Executive Airport (AZI) in central Abu Dhabi. The field was the emirate's original international airport until 1982 and now operates as a dedicated business-aviation facility for private, corporate and government flights. There is no cargo terminal and no scheduled freight handling. Forwarders should route Abu Dhabi air cargo through Zayed International (AUH), home base of Etihad Cargo, or through Dubai World Central (DWC); AZI is only relevant for urgent hand-carry or on-board-courier movements arriving by executive jet.
