Location
Arzanah Island, United Arab Emirates
Arzanah Airport is a small, restricted-access airfield located on Arzanah Island in the Persian Gulf, part of the Abu Dhabi emirate of the United Arab Emirates. The island is primarily an oil and gas production facility operated by ADNOC (Abu Dhabi National Oil Company), and the airport serves almost exclusively the needs of energy industry personnel and support operations.
The airport is not open to commercial public traffic and functions as a private/industrial facility. Access is tightly controlled, and flights to and from the island are typically chartered or operated for company personnel rotations. The airstrip supports the logistical requirements of offshore hydrocarbon extraction on and around Arzanah Island.
