Sheikh Zayed turned Sir Bani Yas into a nature reserve in the 1970s, and the island off Abu Dhabi's western coast now hosts the Arabian Wildlife Park and a cluster of Anantara resorts. Sir Bani Yas Airport (XSB) handles charter and shuttle flights bringing guests to the island, with occasional seasonal scheduled service. The airport has no freight infrastructure; supplies reach the island by ferry and truck via Jebel Dhanna. Air cargo for the Abu Dhabi region should be routed through Zayed International (AUH).
