Sharjah Airport has announced its full readiness to welcome the expected significant surge in passenger numbers during the winter holiday period, following the implementation of a series of operational measures designed to enhance seamless passenger flow and ensure the continued delivery of high-quality services.

The airport advised passengers to arrive at their terminal three hours prior to their scheduled departure times to ensure a smooth travel experience.

In view of the anticipated increase in passenger traffic and the rise in daily flight activity, Sharjah Airport has encouraged departing travellers to make use of its advanced and available services. Passengers flying with Air Arabia are advised to benefit from the city check-in service, which allows them to complete check-in procedures in advance and proceed directly to passport control upon arrival at the airport.

Sharjah Airport offers a wide range of services designed to ease passenger movement and reduce processing times. These include self-check-in kiosks, baggage drop-off facilities in the departure area, smart gates, fast-track options and the Hala service. In addition, Air Arabia and Fly Jinnah passengers can benefit from the newly introduced home check-in service, which allows them to complete check-in procedures in advance and proceed directly to passport control upon arrival at the airport.

The airport has also opened the new Al Diyafah Lounge, located at the main entrance of the departure area, providing passengers with enhanced comfort and premium hospitality. Staffing levels have been increased across operational areas to ensure smooth passenger flow and faster processing for both departing and arriving travellers during peak travel periods.

These measures form part of Sharjah Airport’s ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency and ensure a seamless travel experience amid continued growth in passenger numbers during the winter season.
