Sharjah Airport solidifies readiness for travel season

Sharjah Airport said it is fully prepared for a surge in passenger traffic during the winter holiday period after introducing operational measures to improve passenger flow and maintain service standards.

The airport advised travellers to arrive three hours before departure.

Sharjah Airport encouraged passengers to use available digital and fast-track services to speed up processing.

Air Arabia passengers were urged to take advantage of the city check-in service, allowing them to complete procedures in advance and proceed directly to passport control on arrival.

Services at the airport include self-check-in kiosks, baggage drop facilities, smart gates, fast-track options and the Hala service. Air Arabia and Fly Jinnah passengers can also use the newly introduced home check-in service.

The airport has opened the Al Diyafah Lounge at the main entrance to the departure area, offering additional comfort and hospitality. It also increased staffing across operational areas to support faster processing for departing and arriving travellers during peak periods.

Sharjah Airport said the measures are part of ongoing efforts to improve efficiency and provide a smooth travel experience during the winter season. Meanwhile, Air Arabia, the Middle East and North Africa’s first and largest budget carrier operator, recently started its new service to Warsaw Modlin Airport. The inaugural service departed Sharjah International Airport on 20 December 2025 and was welcomed upon arrival with a special ceremony at Warsaw Modlin Airport attended by senior representatives from Air Arabia and the airport.

The launch of Warsaw Modlin complements the airline’s existing daily service to Warsaw Chopin Airport, enabling seamless access from Sharjah to both major airports in the Polish capital. In addition, Air Arabia also operates 10 non-stop flights per week between Sharjah and Krakow.
