Times are changing fast at Sharjah International
Airport and we are constantly updating facilities
and equipment to keep pace with the dynamic
growth and market demand that we have experienced
at this airport.
Our open
skies, open ground policy, which results
in flexibility and competitiveness, has
attracted both large and small operators,
keen to take advantage of the opportunities
that await them here.
Cargo
has always been a prominent force at the
airport and we are proud to announce that
we have reached a record level of cargo
handled by any Middle East airport. I would
like to take this opportunity to thank all
our customers, airlines and agents who have
contributed to this success. As a display
of our commitment to this sector we have
opened a new terminal to satisfy and cope
with the growth and to further enhance our
logistical support. We have witnessed a
healthy increase in sea-air cargo, highlighting
the excellent connections with our local
ports.
We value
greatly the custom of all the airlines using
the airport and it is our intention to serve
their needs and in turn, those of their
customers, to the very best of our ability.
We are still the only airport in this region
to allow airlines to operate with their
own facilities.
As traffic
grows in our region, so will the airport.
We are very open and flexible to their needs
and expect even greater passenger numbers
in the coming years as visitors discover
the delights of this beautiful emirate full
of Islamic architecture, heritage and traditions.
We shall
continue to enhance our position both locally
and internationally. However, our fundamental
philosophy remains the same: to deliver
the very highest standards of facilities
and service to all our customers. We look
forward to seeing you at Sharjah International
Airport.
