## Third-party approvals

### Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA)

Before licence · IFZA (Dubai)

Authority’s process note: DCAA approval must be obtained before the license issuance; this means that you will submit the application. Once the required documents are generated in the final stage (after the license application passes the security check), we will send the documents across to apply for the approval. The client must create an account and apply for NOC online https://www.dcaa.gov.ae/services/aviation-related-activities/issuing-permit Required documents from IFZA are: 1- Initial approval (or trade license if it’s an existing company), 2- 2- TPA Letter Please make sure that the approval is addressed to: Dubai Silicon Oasis Authority, not IFZA. Duration: 1-3 working days. Charge: 6,520AED/activity. Renewable every year with the same fees.

## Free zone or mainland

- IFZA lists this activity; Ajman Free Zone does not carry it under the same name, so confirm the Ajman catalogue before switching lanes.
- Dubai mainland under DET lets you invoice UAE mainland clients directly, but it expects Ejari-registered premises and runs longer than a free-zone desk package.
- Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) clearance is required before the licence issues, which breaks any advertised same-week timeline.

## Also catalogued elsewhere

The same activity name appears in other authority catalogues we track. This is a name match, not a legal equivalence, and Dubai Setup Index does not file in these zones.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I add more activities to a Aviation Services Coordination licence later?

Usually yes, as a licence amendment, subject to the authority's rules and any extra approval attached to the new line.

### Does this activity need third-party approval?

Yes. Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) must clear the activity before the licence issues, so build that step into your timeline.
