The Crown Prince viewed a montage showing detailed plans for the terminal project, which
cost Dhs1.235 billion, raising the capacity to 20 million passengers annually. The expansion
will separate the arrivals from the departures and renew the systems and facilities.

Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed was briefed on the project's features and the "add-ons," such
as increasing the number of self-check-in machines, electronic boarding gates, waiting
lounges, food courts, and a hotel for transit passengers.

He received a detailed explanation regarding the airport and communications technology
systems, which improve operational efficiency.
The Deputy Ruler witnessed the Sharjah Airport Authority's signing ceremony of the main
contractor for the terminal project.

The ceremony was attended by Sheikh Khalid Bin Abdullah Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairman of
Sharjah Sea Ports and Customs; Sheikh Faisal bin Saud Al Qasimi, Director of Sharjah
International Airport Authority; Sheikh Sultan bin Abdullah Al Thani, Director of Department of
Civil Aviation; and several government officials.
