Ahmedabad: SpiceJet has announced the launch of non-stop flights between Ahmedabad and Sharjah, strengthening direct air connectivity between Gujarat and the United Arab Emirates. The new service will operate five days a week starting February 5, 2026.

The direct route is expected to cater to rising demand from business travellers, tourists and the Indian expatriate community, particularly those with trade and family links between Gujarat and the Gulf region.

According to the airline, Sharjah will become SpiceJet’s second destination in the UAE after Dubai. Ahmedabad, a major commercial and cultural hub, has long maintained strong economic and social ties with Gulf countries, making the route strategically significant.

SpiceJet said the new connection is likely to benefit frequent flyers, small business owners and families who travel regularly between the two regions.

The Ahmedabad–Sharjah service will operate five days a week, excluding Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Flights from Ahmedabad will depart at 8.20 pm and arrive in Sharjah at 10.20 pm. The return flight will leave Sharjah at 11.20 pm and reach Ahmedabad at 3.30 am the following day.

Bookings for the Ahmedabad–Sharjah flights, which will be operated by a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, are now open through SpiceJet’s official website, mobile application and authorised travel agents.

Sharjah International Airport already maintains extensive connectivity with India, handling around 25 daily flights to various Indian cities. These services are primarily operated by Air Arabia, along with carriers such as Air India Express. Major routes include Mumbai, Delhi, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Surat. DeshGujarat
