Aircraft ceiling
Full facilities for aircraft up to and including the Antonov An-124 on the cargo side. A Boeing 747 is accepted when positioning empty for positioning and overhaul.
Maintenance and technical
Line maintenance today, space for considerably more
Two maintenance organisations work the field, an An-124 can be handled on it, and there is over a square kilometre of land beside the aeronautical infrastructure looking for an operator. What RKT offers an MRO tenant is room and access rather than a finished industrial park.

Who maintains aircraft here
Both organisations below are established at RKT. Approach them directly for capability, approvals and pricing.
BCT Aviation Maintenance
Line maintenance and managed parking
The UK-based organisation runs line maintenance at RKT together with its Managed Parking storage product. RKT is one of only two Managed Parking locations it operates worldwide — the other is Shannon.

GCAA CAR 145 line station
A UAE GCAA CAR 145 organisation with line stations across the country — Sharjah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al Maktoum and Ras Al Khaimah.
What the field takes
Aircraft acceptance and technical capability
The figures that decide whether a job can come here at all. Confirm the current position with the operations desk before you commit an aircraft.
Hangarage
Hangar space exists on the field. The airport's own publications describe hangar facilities available up to A320 class with prior permission, while the AIP simply records hangar and repair facilities for visiting aircraft as available. No capacity figure is published — ask before you plan a hangar input.
Pavement
Runway 16/34, 3,760 m × 45 m asphalt at PCR 604/F/D/W/T. The general aviation apron is concrete at PCR 1840/R/D/W/T, the strongest pavement on the field alongside stand 5.
Ground support
Aircraft tugs, air start unit, ground power, passenger stairs for aircraft up to Boeing 747, toilet service units, a runway friction tester and a FOD sweeper. There is no de-icing capability and no clearing requirement — the field is available in all seasons.
Fuel
Jet A-1 only, H24, 1,750,000 litres of storage. The fuel supplied contains no anti-icing inhibitor. Oil is not stocked and needs 72 hours' notice.
Aircraft recovery
Removal of a disabled aircraft is the responsibility of the aircraft operator. The airport declares no recovery capability of its own — plan for it in your own contingency.
The land offer
Over a square kilometre, beside the runway
This is the real proposition. RKT is not selling you an existing hangar bay; it is offering serviced land with airside access and free-zone potential, in an emirate whose economy is roughly a third manufacturing.
- Over 1,000,000 m² of land adjacent to the aeronautical infrastructure, with free-zone potential
- A corporate aviation precinct of over 500,000 m² served by a Code C taxiway
- An H24 aerodrome with customs, immigration and security around the clock
- RAKEZ industrial zones at Al Ghail, Al Hamra and Al Hulaila within the same emirate for supply-chain and workshop space
- No aircraft noise restrictions in place, which matters for engine runs and test schedules

Plot plans, utility provision, zoning status, lease terms and free-zone structuring are handled case by case and issued in writing. They are not published, and we would rather quote your actual footprint than a generic rate.
What a tenant gets
The practical package
Airside access
Code C taxiway access to the corporate aviation precinct, direct to a runway that takes anything up to an An-124.
An uncongested field
No slot queue and no noise restrictions. Aircraft can be positioned and returned to service without bidding for a window.
Storage as a product
Aircraft storage is already a live business here through BCT's Managed Parking. Terms, security and environmental conditions come from the operator.
A two-step licence path
A lease from the airport, plus an activity licence from the RAK Department of Civil Aviation. Both need to be in place before you operate — start them in parallel.
Line maintenance and storage are what is established here today. If you need base maintenance, continuing airworthiness management or a wider technical operation at RKT, that is exactly the conversation the land offer exists for — bring it to the commercial office rather than assuming it already exists on the field.
