Strategic platform for strengthening connectivity
The event, one of South Asia’s leading exhibitions for air cargo and logistics, brought together major international companies and industry leaders, providing the Authority with a strategic platform to strengthen air cargo connectivity between Sharjah and key Asian markets, particularly in the transport of perishables, express shipments, and live animal cargo.
Delegation participation and high-level engagements
The SAA delegation participated alongside Air Arabia and Sharjah Aviation Services as strategic partners. Through Sharjah Airport’s stand, the delegation held a series of high-level meetings aimed at enhancing commercial ties with one of the airport’s most important strategic markets.
Expanding global presence
The Authority’s participation is part of its ongoing efforts to expand international presence and deepen engagement across global markets, reinforcing Sharjah Airport’s position as a leading regional air cargo hub. This is supported by sustained investment in capacity expansion, smart technologies, and future-ready infrastructure, alongside comprehensive development programmes to increase passenger capacity while strengthening sustainability and integration across cargo, ground handling, and aviation services.
Partnership opportunities and integrated logistics
During the exhibition, the Authority explored opportunities to forge new partnerships with international cargo companies and further strengthen existing collaborations to deliver faster, more flexible, and sustainable cargo solutions. Its expansion plans reflect the growing demand for integrated logistics solutions, particularly sea–air cargo services, reinforcing Sharjah’s role as a key node in global supply chains.
Digital transformation in cargo operations
As part of its digital transformation journey, Sharjah Airport deploys advanced cargo management systems, electronic data interchange (EDI) platforms, and digital documentation processes to accelerate cargo handling and enhance customs coordination. Automated handling solutions and real-time tracking further improve efficiency, reduce processing times, and increase transparency across the cargo supply chain.
Sustainability initiatives
Under its sustainability strategy, Sharjah Airport enhances energy efficiency and environmental responsibility through solar power solutions, optimisation of energy consumption, adoption of LED lighting systems, and development of waste management and recycling initiatives.
Strong growth in cargo throughput
Sharjah Airport has recorded consistent growth in cargo services over the past five years, with total cargo throughput exceeding 204,000 tonnes in 2025, up from approximately 195,000 tonnes in 2024, highlighting its strategic importance as a fast-growing regional logistics hub.
