Sharjah Airport’s Expansion Project

In addition, Sharjah Airport Authority is continuing its expansion project, which is expected to
be completed by 2027. Through this project, the Authority seeks to address the substantial surge

in the number of passengers travelling through Sharjah Airport, while ensuring a distinctive

travel experience and providing top-notch services. In early Jan 2024, under the directives of
His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council

and Ruler of Sharjah and in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin
Sultan Al Qasimi, The Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler and Chairman of Sharjah Executive

Council, and HH. Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah,

the cornerstone of the New Passenger Terminal Expansion Project was laid at Sharjah Airport,
the largest package of a series of expansion projects with a total cost of AED 2.4 billion. The

terminal expansion is anticipated to increase the airport’s capacity to 20 million passengers,
separate arrivals from departures and raise the number of self-check-in and self-travel devices.

Furthermore, it will establish new roads and entrances, parking lots and other expansion and
development operations, aiming to enhance the quality of its services and to elevate the travel

experience of all passengers through Sharjah Airport.
