History

HADID was founded in 1981 by Baha Eddin Hadid and opened its first UAE office in 1999 in the Sharjah Airport Freezone. Later, in 2003, the company was headquartered in the Dubai Airport Freezone (DAZFA).[3] Initially, HADID focused on serving the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, later expanding its services globally.[4]

In 2002, HADID developed an in-house proprietary software system called MASTER, now known as COMPASS, which became the company's flight management system and customer relationship management (CRM) tool, with the capacity to handle flights internationally and was the first of its kind in the industry.[5]

In 2003, the company opened its first headquarters in the DAZFA.[6] It also became a full member of the Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA).[7] [8] [9] The same year, the company signed a strategic partner with International Air Transport Association (IATA).[10]

In 2006, HADID opened offices in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, and Africa. The company became a member of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA).[11] In 2010, it launched its first operations in New Delhi, India, and expanded across Asia.

In 2012, the company opened an office in Niger[12] and became a founding member of the African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA) in 2013.[13] [14] In 2014, the company started operating in the United States, India, Saudi Arabia, and other countries with on-ground support staff, suppliers, and station managers.[15]

In 2018, it partnered with Riviera Airport (LIMG), Albenga, Italy, to operate and manage the FBO (Fixed Base Operator – a terminal for Business Aviation) under the name HADID Riviera. HADID also manages ground support services at the airport.[16] It made an investment totalling 2.5 million euros in the REA as the handling company of Riviera Airport.[17] [18]
