Sharjah Airport said it is “fully prepared” for an increase in passenger traffic during the winter holiday period after introducing operational measures to manage passenger movement and service delivery.
The airport advised travellers to arrive three hours before departure. In a statement, Sharjah Airport encouraged passengers to use digital and fast-track services to reduce processing time.
Air Arabia passengers were urged to use the city check-in service, which allows travellers to complete procedures in advance and proceed directly to passport control upon arrival at the airport.
Check-in, baggage and gate services expanded at Sharjah Airport
Sharjah Airport said services available to passengers 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 home check-in service, which has been introduced for travellers departing from Sharjah.
The airport has opened the Al Diyafah Lounge at the main entrance to the departure area. Sharjah Airport said the lounge offers “comfort and hospitality” for passengers.
It also said staffing levels have been increased across operational areas to support processing for departing and arriving travellers during peak travel periods.
Sharjah Airport said the measures form part of efforts to improve efficiency and ensure “a smooth travel experience” during the winter season.
