From today's 930,000 movements a year to the systems redefining what airspace looks like GANS is already where the future is heading.

What we deliver

Ten capabilities. One integrated airspace.

From the control tower to the engineering room, every service GANS delivers is part of a single, coordinated operation built to keep UAE airspace safe, efficient, and ready.

Where we operate

Five airports. Twelve airbases. One coordinated system.

GANS operates across 80% of the UAE aerodromes. From Abu Dhabi's international gateway to government airbases across the country. Every location is part of the same integrated operation, managed by the same authority.
