SHARJAH, 3rd June, 2025 (WAM) -- The Preparation Committee for Recommendations in Sharjah Consultative Council (SCC) has held an extensive meeting at the council’s headquarters.
The session focused on discussing outcomes from the Council’s 15th session, which had been dedicated to reviewing the policy of Sharjah International Airport during the second ordinary term of the 11th legislative chapter.
The committee reviewed the main observations and insights shared during the session, identifying major themes for the final set of recommendations. These included improving operational efficiency, expanding future capacity, enhancing regional and global competitiveness, and increasing Emiratisation across airport roles. Committee members also discussed incentives for private-sector firms to adopt pro-Emiratisation policies.
Additional discussions focused on updating the regulatory framework governing the airport authority and putting forward strategic proposals to support Sharjah Airport’s long-term development, aligned with anticipated growth in air traffic.
Jassem Mohammed Al Naqbi, Chairman of the Committee, emphasised that the committee operates with a precise methodology informed by constructive debate in the plenary session and among committee members. The goal is to translate this input into actionable recommendations that align with both legislative goals and Sharjah’s broader development agenda.
He added that the proposed recommendations will aim to further advance Sharjah International Airport’s operational readiness and infrastructure as it continues to expand.
The goal is to reinforce the airport’s role as a key strategic hub for the emirate—regionally and internationally—reflecting the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.
The committee agreed to complete the final drafting of its recommendation report in preparation for presentation at the upcoming session of the Sharjah Consultative Council. The move aims to enhance the quality and efficiency of services provided at Sharjah International Airport and align with the emirate’s future aspirations.
