The Sharjah Airport Authority formally entered into a contractual agreement with Binladin Contracting Group to commence the construction of the West Side Terminal within the framework of the Sharjah International Airport Expansion (Package 1). The foundation stone for the project was ceremoniously placed by Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, the Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah. The development, with an estimated cost of USD 336.25 million (AED 1.235 billion) is scheduled for completion by 2027.
Spanning an impressive 190,000 square meters, the passenger terminal is poised to undergo a comprehensive transformation. The expansion includes the segregation of arrivals and departures, an extension of the passenger terminal, the upgrading of the main building, and a modernization overhaul of systems and facilities. To facilitate smoother passenger movement, there will be an increase in the number of bridges, accompanied by the construction of a dedicated VIP building. Across the entire airport premises, a series of comprehensive updates are set to be implemented.
This expansion development is strategically designed to streamline passenger flow, elevate overall capacity, contribute to enhanced speed and efficiency of movement, and bolster operational performance. With a primary objective of accommodating up to 20 million passengers annually, the initiative is poised to significantly augment Sharjah International Airport’s standing and functionality.
