Area | Dubai South Free Zone (Dubai Aviation City Corporation)
Business Setup in Dubai South
The logistics and aviation free zone around Al Maktoum International Airport.
Business setup in Dubai South means licensing your company in the Dubai South Free Zone, the master-planned city built around Al Maktoum International Airport and regulated by the Dubai Aviation City Corporation. It suits logistics, aviation, e-commerce fulfilment and trading companies that need warehouse space and airport and Jebel Ali Port access rather than a central office.
We handle the Dubai South licence and activities, the office or warehouse the licence needs, visas and the corporate bank account.
What should you know about Dubai South?
Before you commit, these are the facts that decide how a company is licensed here and whether the property route to a Golden Visa is open to you: the ownership status, the licensing authority, where the local stock sits against the AED 2 million threshold, and how the area is reached. We confirm each of them for your exact plan before any fee is paid.
Why set up a company in Dubai South?
The reasons that matter are the practical ones: what the licence lets you do, the visa allocation you get, the cost of the office or address the jurisdiction requires, and how quickly you can open a bank account and start invoicing. Here is where Dubai South is genuinely strong for the kind of company most of our clients build, and where it is not the right fit.
Built for moving goods
Warehousing and logistics space sits beside an airport and within reach of Jebel Ali Port, which a central district cannot offer.
100% ownership
As a free zone, Dubai South allows full foreign ownership with no local partner.
Room to grow
A master plan still being built out, so space can scale with your operation.

Frequently asked questions
-
What kind of company suits Dubai South?
Logistics, aviation services, e-commerce fulfilment and trading companies that need warehouse space and airport access. A consultancy that only needs a desk is usually better served in a central free zone.
-
Is Dubai South a free zone?
Yes. The Dubai South Free Zone is regulated by the Dubai Aviation City Corporation and allows 100% foreign ownership.
-
Dubai South or JAFZA for logistics?
Both suit logistics. Dubai South is built around Al Maktoum International Airport, while JAFZA sits at Jebel Ali Port. The better fit depends on whether your goods move mainly by air or by sea, which we assess with you.
