  • PRESS RELEASE

Delta Air Lines, the world's second largest carrier in terms of passengers carried and the leading U.S. airline across the Atlantic, has beefed up its Northern Emirates presence with the Sharjah expansion of Sharaf Travel - the airline's UAE-exclusive General Sales Agent (GSA).

Following hard on the heels of last week's opening of its first Abu Dhabi branch, Sharaf Travel has upgraded and relocated its Sharjah operations with the opening of a brand new office in the heart of the emirate's business district, offering dedicated Delta Air Lines ticketing facilities.

"Delta's GSA network is now significant in all three major emirates with dedicated ticketing infrastructure in place," said Kevin Smith, Director Sales Europe.

"Strong Delta branding in key locations such as Khaleed Bin Waleed Road in Bur Dubai, Al Arooba Street in Sharjah and Electra Street in the capital, ensures awareness of our operations remains intact."

Sharaf Travel has represented Delta in Dubai since August 1994.
