Sharjah International Airport

Sharjah International Airport (OMSJ) is a large airport in Sharjah, SH, United Arab Emirates. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code OMSJ or IATA code SHJ. It sits in Asia.

Sharjah International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Sharjah International Airport sits near sea level at 111 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Dubai. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess inventory for OMSJ updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

As one of the larger fields in United Arab Emirates, OMSJ tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Sharjah International Airport is an international airport located 7 nautical miles east-southeast of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. It is spread over an area of 15,200,000 m2. It is the 3rd busiest airport in the country as well as the 10th busiest airport in the Middle East. It has one runway, and is the only airport in Sharjah capable of international flights as of 2025. By 2027, it is expected to increase its capacity to 25 million passengers annually.
