Ras Al Khaimah International Airport serves as a prominent aviation gateway in the Emirate of Ras al-Khaimah, situated along the picturesque coast of the Persian Gulf. This airport, located 11 nautical miles south of Ras Al Khaimah city, boasts two passenger terminal buildings, as well as robust facilities for cargo services, aircraft maintenance, and aviation training.
The airport’s history is intertwined with the Emirate’s growth. In 1976, the airport was inaugurated under the patronage of Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, the region’s revered ruler. While it didn’t evolve into a bustling international or regional aviation hub like Dubai International Airport, Ras Al Khaimah International Airport has played a crucial role in the Emirate’s connectivity.
One notable chapter in the airport’s history was the establishment of RAK Airways in 2007 as the national airline, positioning the airport as its hub. However, the global economic crisis in 2008 led to the suspension of regular operations. The airline did make a comeback in 2010 with fresh branding and management but, unfortunately, ceased operations permanently in 2013. Despite these challenges, the airport adapted and embraced new opportunities. In 2014, Air Arabia commenced commercial flights to various destinations, filling the void left by RAK Airways’ suspension. Ras-al-Khaimah became an essential hub for Air Arabia for an initial ten-year period, with room for further extensions.
Notably, Ras Al Khaimah International Airport earned ISO 9001:2000 accreditation for quality management, making it the second airport among the Arab states of the Persian Gulf to achieve this distinction. Presently, the airport is renewing its focus on cargo business, with a particular emphasis on attracting companies within the Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone, signifying a strategic shift to further its contributions to the Emirate’s development.
