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
