Times are changing fast at Sharjah International
Airport and we are constantly updating facilities
and equipment to keep pace with the dynamic growth
and market demand that we have experienced at this
airport.
Our
open skies, open ground policy, which results in
flexibility and competitiveness, has attracted both
large and small operators, keen to take advantage
of the opportunities that await them here.
Cargo
has always been a prominent force at the airport
and we are proud to announce that we have reached
a record level of cargo handled by any Middle East
airport. I would like to take this opportunity to
thank all our customers, airlines and agents who
have contributed to this success. As a display of
our commitment to this sector we have opened a new
terminal to satisfy and cope with the growth and
to further enhance our logistical support. We have
witnessed a healthy increase in sea-air cargo, highlighting
the excellent connections with our local ports.
We
value greatly the custom of all the airlines using
the airport and it is our intention to serve their
needs and in turn, those of their customers, to
the very best of our ability. We are still the only
airport in this region to allow airlines to operate
with their own facilities.
As
traffic grows in our region, so will the airport.
We are very open and flexible to their needs and
expect even greater passenger numbers in the coming
years as visitors discover the delights of this
beautiful emirate full of Islamic architecture,
heritage and traditions.
We
shall continue to enhance our position both locally
and internationally. However, our fundamental philosophy
remains the same: to deliver the very highest standards
of facilities and service to all our customers.
We look forward to seeing you at Sharjah International
Airport.

Abdulla Bin Mohammed Al Thani
Chairman, Department of Civil Aviation
