Dolphin Air FZE provides the on-ground foundation that keeps aircraft protected, serviceable and ready to fly. From covered hangar storage and refinishing through to leased workshop space, every service runs from a single facility inside the SAIF Zone aviation cluster.

- Direct airside access: aircraft move between apron and hangar without off-airport transit
- Institutional backing: a member of the Abdulla Bin Zayed Investment Group
- Single-point accountability: storage, base maintenance and facilities under one operator

Reasons operators keep their aircraft with us
Direct airside access

Operating since 1996
Close to thirty years of continuous operation at Sharjah International Airport, through every stage of the region’s aviation growth.
Safety & compliance first
Facility management, movement procedures and contractor control are run to international aviation safety standards, not improvised around them.
Institutional backing
As part of the Abdulla Bin Zayed Investment Group, we can commit to long-term leases and multi-year storage arrangements with confidence.
Hangar storage that protects the value of the airframe
Gulf conditions are unforgiving. Sustained heat, airborne sand, humidity and salt-laden air work continuously on paint, seals, composites and avionics, and they do their worst to aircraft left standing in the open.
- Covered protection from UV, thermal cycling, sand ingress and precipitation
- Controlled access with supervised movements and documented entry
- Fire-safety standards applied to hangar layout and contractor operations
- Flexible terms from transient overnight parking to multi-year storage
