The Fujairah International Airport started
operations in October 1987 and is located in the city’s south
area, at latitude 25º 07 N, longitude 56º 20 E.
Airport Facilities
Fujairah Intl. Airport contains one 3.75 km (2.33 miles) long
runway. The terminal has 15 aircraft stands, duty free shops,
restaurants, VIP and First Class lounges, and a mosque. The
airport is mainly used for cargo flights and military stop-offs,
and has very view passenger flights throughout the year.
Transportation from Airport
Getting around Fujairah from the airport is possible by hiring a
taxi, which should cost Dhs. 3 ($ 1) to get to any point within
Fujairah. For those wishing to rent a car, though there are no
car rental offices at the airport, their offices are a short
distance from the airport and can be requested to deliver booked
vehicles to the airport.
Check-in Counters
Inside the modern terminal, there are several
check-in counters at the departure side, each equipped with
modern digital scales and a conveyor belt. Our courteous and
experienced staff present a level of efficiency normally
associated with long established airports.
Our passport control section has several
counters to ensure speedy clearance of passengers. Maximum
check-in time is five minutes.
Special Security Corridor
Another innovation is the special security
corridor through which transit passenger can be screened without
any fuss. Since security is top priority at the airport, the
most modern security systems have been installed capable of even
detecting plastic explosives.
