Located in the midst of the thriving and bustling Sharjah city famed for its culture, heritage and numerous tourist attractions, Sharjah International Airport (SIA) is becoming one of the fastest growing airports in the region.
Established in 1932, the airport is currently the Middle East's leading transport gateway due to its unique geographical position linking the East and West. Ideally placed in the heart of the UAE between Sharjah's seaports on the Indian Ocean and Arabian Gulf, the airport offers fast and efficient cargo links throughout the country.
To cope with the dramatic increase in traffic, Sharjah International Airport has embarked on a four-fold expansion project scheduled for completion in early 2007. The expansion will herald a new and exciting era for the SIA, always intent on providing the very best services and facilities for passengers and visitors as well as establishing Sharjah's position as a premier travel and business hub within the region.
