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.
