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.

Abdulla Bin Mohammed Al Thani
