Airport Travel Agency (SATA) |
|
SATA
joined the BSP (Billing & Settlement
Plan) of International Air Transport Association
(IATA) recently. This will help provide
more facilities to travelers getting their
airline tickets through SATA. Booking
will be done through the automated Galileo
system and tickets would be issued on
the spot. It provides passengers with
a faster service. This service has also
been introduced in SATA’s airport
office.
SATA
has inaugurated an implant office at the
Sharjah immigration Department. This office
provides another outlet to serve residents
requiring travel services. The office
is equipped with a Galileo reservation
system to help secure confirmed seats
for those travelling out of UAE.

Ramp Service Section
This section is responsible for receiving
aircraft, positioning equipment, loading, offloading
and aircraft push-back . The Ramp Service Section currently
covers five aprons spread across five Kilometres. Its
staff also carry out all the ramp work for Lufthansa
Cargo Airlines' dedicated freight terminal.
Cargo section
Sharjah International Airport is the
largest cargo hub in the Middle East and the largest
sea-air hub in Asia. ACI figures have shown Sharjah
International Airport ranking as 29th in world airfreight
terms. Sharjah International Airport is strategically
located midway between the Far East and Europe. We are
in fact referred to as the ‘Crossroad of the South’.
We are an uncongested Airport, which
means that priority service, for all airlines, is an
accepted fact. We have available, 60 parking slots for
aircraft and large apron space and warehousing capacity.
Modern equipment to handle aircraft of all types. Probably
our biggest asset is the ‘laissez faire’ attitude of
the concerned Governmental Authorities such as Security,
Immigration and Customs who are customer friendly and
aim to serve.
The Airport Authority management is
always accessible and open to all suggestions of the
airlines.
- Friendly staff and modern equipment ensure speedy
customs clearance.
- Door to door cargo service, if required by the
airline.
- Sharjah Airport offers the airline the option of
‘self handling’, if you would prefer to do so, either
now or in the future.
- 24 hour operations and customs clearance.
- Latest navigation systems and Runway length extended
to 4050 metres to permit maximum take-off payloads
under any weather conditions.
- SAA can provide Line Maintenance through our own
qualified staff stationed at Sharjah International
Airport, or through a third party.
- Sharjah Airport can also provide ‘seconded staff’
if you should require them or assist in sponsoring
your staff.
- Fully computerised cargo systems.
Many airlines have benefited from
the services and facilities we offer. Lufthansa has
its largest network hub in Sharjah with approximately
300 flights every month outside of Frankfurt. Also operating
here are Singapore Airlines, Eva Air, Cargolux, Egypt
Air, Sudan Air and Martin Air among the major carriers.
Sharjah airport has five cargo terminals with a total
floor area of 32,000 square metres served by separate
cargo aircraft parking positions, equipped for loading
14 narrow bodied or 10 wide bodied aircraft or a combination
of both. Two additional cargo aircraft parking areas
are also available to accommodate up to 16 narrow bodied
aircraft of different types. Sharjah is the only airport
globally where two aircraft can swap their complete
loads simultaneously, as is witnessed regularly, between
the B747 freighters of Singapore Airlines cargo and
Lufthansa Cargo. In this operation the two aircraft
park next to each other on the cargo apron and their
cargo’s are directly 'rollered' on and off into each
others capacity. The ease at which this operation happens
is credited to the airport’s up-to-date cargo handling
equipment.
In recognition of our achievements
we are pleased to inform you that the Institute of Transport
Management has awarded Sharjah International Airport
with its "Global Air Cargo Airport 2000" award.
