Sharjah Airport Authority (SAA) has revealed its plans to enhance the
Cargo Centre and overall logistics services at the Air Cargo India
2024 event in Mumbai. The initiative is part of a larger $650 million
expansion project to transform the airport into a leading global aviation
hub.
Scheduled for completion by 2026, the expansion will increase the airport’s
capacity to 20 million passengers annually, significantly up from its current
capabilities.
Growth in passenger and cargo traffic
In 2023, Sharjah Airport’s performance was strong, with a surge in
passenger traffic to 13.1 million, nearly double from the 7 million in 2021,
showcasing a robust recovery and growth trajectory.
This aligns with SAA’s strategic focus on strengthening its position in the
aviation and cargo sectors.
