Since 1932, Sharjah Airport has been a gateway for international and regional airlines travelling to, from and through the UAE.
Sharjah made aviation history in 1932 when the emirate’s first flight landed on the Al Mahatta runway. Sharjah Airport opened 45 years later – and it has never looked back. With a runway that is capable of accommodating the largest aircraft in the world, we have quickly expanded to become a world-class, state-of-the-art international airport.
