Sharjah’s Department of Civil Aviation and Sharjah Airport officials were unanimous in their welcome. “Our philosophy and relationship with the airlines that operate at Sharjah Airport is not one of landlord client, rather that of partners. And as with all good and successful partnerships, we believe in a ‘win win’ relationship. And this is well exemplified in Jet Airways presence here at Sharjah Airport. We have closely watched, nurtured and invested in the steady growth and success of Jet Airways and we are confident that the addition of Thiruvananthapuram and it’s connectivity out of Sharjah will not only be of good service to the people of the land, but also is a feather in the cap of this very popular carrier.
Sharjah now has up to 25 daily departures to India and is keen to support new routes and strategies with all airlines to promote Sharjah International; to give our customers the best possible opportunity to develop in a very difficult market.’
