Sharjah Airport implements Ramadan initiative

As part of its continued commitment to elevating the passenger experience and providing an integrated and comfortable travel environment, Sharjah International Airport is implementing its annual Ramadan initiative for 2026.

The initiative includes a range of thoughtfully designed services and facilities aimed at ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey for travellers, particularly during Iftar hours throughout the Holy Month.

This initiative forms part of Sharjah Airport Authority’s ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of services provided to passengers. Iftar meals are distributed to fasting travellers, along with dates and traditional Arabic coffee, reflecting the authentic values of Emirati hospitality and the spirit of generosity that characterises the UAE community.

The initiative has been widely appreciated by passengers of various nationalities, as it reflects a level of care that extends beyond routine operational services. It strengthens positive engagement with travellers and reaffirms Sharjah Airport’s position as a leading regional hub that combines operational excellence, high-quality services, and passenger wellbeing.

Through this initiative, Sharjah Airport underscores its continued dedication to delivering a comprehensive travel experience that reflects the spirit of the holy month, while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality across all its operations.
