The airport has gained steady success in acquiring real-time insights on its operations, health and safety, facilities and energy management.

Enova was awarded the contract to deliver operations and maintenance services for Sharjah Airport's buildings and infrastructure in 2011. As one of the most progressive airports in the UAE, Sharjah Airport Authority inaugurated the East Expansion project extending over an area of 4,000 square metres, as part of the main expansion terminal, which aims to increase the airport’s capacity to 20 million passengers per year by 2025.

To keep up with the developments, Enova has leveraged the analytic capabilities of the Hubgrade 4.0 smart monitoring and reporting platform, to conduct smart asset management across key airport equipment, namely; baggage handling, x-ray machines, security equipment, wayfinding and passenger boarding bridges.

Throughout the last ten years, Enova has strategically partnered with Sharjah Airport to improve overall performance, through follow ups and auditing, as well as to achieve significant success in reducing its energy and water consumption, improving its environmental footprint, and gaining financial savings. Enova has also conducted a future-proofing report, updating asset life cycles and refurbishments, along with a business continuity plan and risk management for power infrastructure resilience and natural disaster management.

"Sharjah Airport's partnership with Enova marks a decade of paving the way towards new innovative and digitized standards in energy and facilities management in aviation,” said Ali Salim Al Midfa, Chairman – Sharjah Airport Authority.

“Sharjah Airport is committed to delivering unrivalled and seamless journey experiences to its passengers. Achieving this end goal requires significant collaboration between stakeholders.
