Air Arabia launches home check-in service for Sharjah travellers

Dubai: Air Arabia has rolled out a home check-in service for passengers departing from Sharjah International Airport, giving travellers the option to complete the entire check-in process without setting foot in the terminal. Branded Sharjah Home Check-In, the service aims to streamline the most time-consuming part of the journey and allow passengers to head straight to security on arrival at the airport.

The service is available from 24 hours to eight hours before departure. Once a booking is made, an agent visits the passenger’s home to check in baggage, complete the formalities and issue boarding passes. The airline said the goal is to offer a smooth start to the journey and reduce pressure at peak travel times.

Making budget travel more convenient

Air Arabia said the new service is part of its wider strategy to improve travel convenience while keeping the experience affordable for budget-conscious flyers. The carrier highlighted that demand for flexible services has grown as more passengers look for ways to bypass airport congestion and shorten queuing times.

In a statement outlining the rationale for the move, the airline said the launch of Sharjah Home Check-In “reflects the airline’s commitment to providing affordable and value-added solutions that address the evolving needs of its passengers.” The addition comes as low-cost carriers across the region expand their ancillary services and invest in new ways to manage airport flow more efficiently.

Designed to ease bottlenecks and lift customer experience

With Sharjah International Airport continuing to register strong traffic growth, Air Arabia has been adjusting its service model to reduce wait times and improve on-ground efficiency. Offering home check-in is one way to limit the volume of bags processed at counters during peak periods, freeing up capacity for passengers who prefer traditional check-in.

How passengers can book the service

Travellers can book Sharjah Home Check-In through the Air Arabia website, call centre or travel agents. Once the process is complete at home, passengers are only required to arrive at the airport with enough time to clear security and reach their gate.

The airline said the service underscores its focus on improving each stage of the journey, from booking to boarding, as it competes in a growing regional market where convenience has become an essential part of value.
