Sharjah Airport Authority (SAA) announced that it has completed preparations for the peak of the travel season and an expected influx of Hajj pilgrims. Sharjah Airport, which is expecting to receive more than 1.1 million passengers on both scheduled and non-scheduled flights this August, has finalised arrangements for all procedures needed to ensure a comfortable travel experience for pilgrims, families, and all other passengers.
SAA expects air traffic at the Airport to increase this month due to the fact that some airlines operate additional flights in order to accommodate the increased demand for travel over the Eid Al Adha holiday.
In collaboration with strategic partners at Sharjah Airport, SAA has taken the necessary measures to accommodate passengers, particularly the pilgrims. HE Ali Salim Al Midfa, Chairman of Sharjah Airport Authority, said “Hajj pilgrimage and the Eid Al Adha holiday are important seasons for Sharjah Airport. The number of passengers will peak due to the additional flights that will accommodate the high demand, which necessitates the provision of faster travel procedures while maintaining the highest level of service.
