About Sharjah International Airport:Sharjah's distinguished place on the world aviation map began back in 1932 when Imperial Airways - the forerunners of British Airways - constructed an airfield here as a stopover en route to India and Australia. At that time, Sharjah ranked as one of its most remote outposts as well as being the first airport in the country.

The airport is well connected to all major international destinations. It is just 10 kms away from Sharjah city centre and about 20 kms away from the Emirate of Dubai. It is also just a few kilometers away from the Emirates of Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras-Al-Khaimah and Fujairah.
