Why Choose DAFZA?
Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZA) is one of the most established and prestigious business hubs in the UAE, directly connected to Dubai International Airport (DXB) — the world's busiest international airport. Since its launch in 1996, DAFZA has attracted over 3,300 companies from across the globe, offering a premium business environment with first-class infrastructure and regulatory support.
Key Benefits
DAFZA provides 100% foreign ownership, complete profit repatriation, and exemption from corporate and personal income taxes for qualifying free zone entities. Its direct airport connectivity gives cargo, pharma, and logistics businesses an unmatched speed-to-market advantage for time-sensitive goods.
Packages & Pricing
Licence packages start from approximately AED 25,000, placing DAFZA in the premium tier alongside DMCC and DIFC. The higher cost reflects the zone's strategic location, established regulatory framework, and the calibre of companies operating within it.
Industry Focus
DAFZA has built dedicated clusters for aviation, pharmaceuticals, logistics, IT, food and beverage, and professional services. These industry-specific ecosystems provide networking, knowledge sharing, and supply chain synergies that general-purpose free zones cannot replicate.
Who Is It Best For?
DAFZA is ideal for logistics and cargo companies, pharmaceutical distributors, aviation service providers, and established businesses that benefit from airport proximity. It's a strong choice for companies with frequent international shipments or time-critical supply chains.
