Sharjah was the first Gulf airport to handle a scheduled service and today anchors Air Arabia, the region's original low-cost carrier. Compact, fast and deliberately uncluttered, SHJ has carved a niche as the no-nonsense alternative to its glittering Dubai neighbour — shuttling 18.4 million budget travellers to the subcontinent and North Africa in 2024. A USD 2.7 bn expansion is now pushing its capacity toward 25 mppa by 2027.
Current expansion
USD 2.7 bn redevelopment to triple terminal footprint and lift capacity to 25 mppa by 2027, with new piers, concourses and apron.
