## Description

Ceramics, building materials and a fast-growing e-commerce base: the industrial output of the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) and RAK Free Trade Zone increasingly moves through Ras Al Khaimah International Airport (RKT). Cargo throughput nearly doubled in 2024 to 6,652 tonnes, up 97 percent year on year, making RKT the fastest-growing freight point in the northern Emirates. On-airport services cover general cargo, perishables and dangerous goods, with warehousing and customs brokerage available. Passenger traffic is expanding in parallel on the back of the emirate's tourism push. Dubai International (DXB) lies about 100 kilometres southwest for mainline capacity, while RKT itself works well for free-zone shippers seeking short truck runs and quick acceptance.
