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 Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al
Qasimi, Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler and Chairman of Sharjah Executive Council,
and 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.
