Generic industrial space does not work for an aviation business
Aviation businesses keep discovering the same thing: standard commercial premises are the wrong shape for the work. Door heights will not take the equipment. Floor loading is not rated for it. Clearance is insufficient for the components being handled. The unit is technically available and practically unusable.
Location compounds it. A parts distributor, tooling supplier or line-maintenance provider whose premises sit forty minutes from the airfield has built a permanent tax into every single job, paid daily in transit time, duplicated handling and slower response to the operators they are supposed to be serving.
Then there is licensing. Aviation businesses importing parts, tooling or equipment face customs and regulatory friction that free-zone establishment is specifically designed to remove, but only if the premises sit inside the zone in the first place.
Premises inside the aviation cluster, licensed for the work
Dolphin Air leases workshops, offices and storage units within the SAIF Zone aviation cluster at Sharjah International Airport. Tenants sit inside the free zone, alongside the airfield and the operators, maintenance providers and cargo businesses already working there.
Units are configured for aviation use rather than adapted to it, and areas and lease terms are set against what the business actually requires. Because availability changes as tenancies turn over, the practical step is to tell us your required area, intended use and target date. We will tell you honestly what we have.

Frequently asked
Unit sizes vary and availability changes as tenancies turn over. Rather than publish a list that dates immediately, we ask enquirers for their required area, intended use and target occupancy date, and respond with what is genuinely available.
Sharjah Airport International Free Zone offers free-zone company establishment with customs and import advantages that matter significantly for businesses moving aircraft parts, tooling and equipment. Being adjacent to the airfield also removes the transit time that off-airport premises impose on every job.
MRO and line-maintenance providers, aviation parts distributors, tooling and equipment suppliers, ground-handling companies, and aviation support businesses that need to be near the airfield and inside the free zone.
Yes. Some tenants lease workshop or storage space and separately place aircraft into hangar storage with us. Both run from the same facility under the same operator, which keeps coordination straightforward.
