Air traffic and volume of freight handled at the airport, too, rose
Sharjah Airport’s passenger traffic rose 12 per cent year-on-year to over 4 million in the third quarter of 2023.
Air traffic during the period reached 26,000, owing to the advancements made in the airport’s services and ongoing development activities following its strategic vision.
Furthermore, the volume of freight handled during the period reached around 35,000 tonnes, apart from more than 3,000 tonnes of sea-air freight. Sharjah Airport Authority is continuing its expansion project to provide quick and simple access to services for passengers.
That’s in line with the trend at other airports in the UAE.
