airline networks and number of destinations.

H.E. Ali Salem Al Midfa said: “The launch of the first Air Arabia flight to Phuket in the Kingdom of Thailand
demonstrates the robust cooperation between the Authority and our strategic partners, such as Air Arabia. Through this
collaboration, we seek to elevate Sharjah Airport’s standing, offer a distinctive travel experience, provide premium

services, and increase passenger travel options at the airport. The Authority is committed to offering the best amenities
and services by utilising cutting-edge technology, such as Self Travel Service, which will provide passengers with a

preferred terminal and robust infrastructure for companies operating through Sharjah Airport.”

Phuket, a renowned tourist destination. We look forward to expanding our network of destinations to offer passengers
affordable travel options. This launch underpins our dedication to providing passengers with convenient offerings while
