Customs, Immigration and Special Branch Police
Customs and Immigration and Special Branch police officers are based at the airport and are available throughout the airport’s operational hours.
Aerodrome Control
The controllers in the Tower at the Airport control ground movements and supervise the arrival and departure of aircraft. This is achieved by issuing radio instructions to pilots, based on what the controller can see visually, and also with the assistance of Apron and Ramp Services. Close liaison is maintained with the Approach/Radar controller at all times. If the aircraft is departing into controlled airspace, co-ordination is affected prior to departure with controllers at UAE ACC or DXB Departure Control. Depending on local traffic, departures may be transferred directly to the appropriate ATC controller, or to the Approach/Radar controller.
The Airport's approach radar service is also provided from the airport, and is completely funded from airport resources, with no external Government funding. Controllers use the radar to guide aircraft into and out of the airport. Once the Approach/Radar controller has finished with the inbound aircraft, it is usually transferred to Aerodrome Controller.
