Gulf: Sharjah to build Dh110m private jet terminal

Sharjah’s Airport Authority announced Thursday it is investing Dh110m to build a new private jet terminal at Sharjah International Airport. The authority said it has signed two commercial agreements with Gama Support Services, the first of which is for a private jet terminal. The second deal grants Gama the right to provide ground handling services to business jet owners, business jets and crew members at the terminal. The terminal will be constructed and operated by Gama, and will contribute to developing the private jet and the broader aviation industry in Sharjah, the Authority said. The project spans over 40,000 square metres in Sharjah International Airport, and comprises two private jet hangers with a capacity of two large Boeing Business Jets each. It also has a terminal for business jet owners and crew members that includes lounges and duty free shops. The Authority said the project will include an aircraft fuelling unit, aircraft parking apron for business jets and car parking spaces.<br/>
