Helicopters lifting off toward offshore oil and gas platforms set the rhythm at Sas Al Nakheel Air Base on the eastern edge of Abu Dhabi city. The airfield serves rotary-wing operations supporting the Gulf's energy industry and is home to Abu Dhabi Aviation, one of the Middle East's largest commercial helicopter operators. There is no civilian cargo terminal and no acceptance of commercial air freight. Shippers should route Abu Dhabi cargo through Zayed International (AUH); Sas Al Nakheel only touches logistics where crews and light equipment rotate to offshore installations.
