SHJ Airport Code: Sharjah Airport IATA & ICAO
Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) is stored for Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. ICAO OMSJ. Timezone Asia/Dubai. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.
Overview
SHJ is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for Sharjah International Airport in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (AE). The matching ICAO identifier is OMSJ. Travel agents see SHJ on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example SHJLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO OMSJ is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is Asia/Dubai. This code page explains how SHJ is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for United Arab Emirates: DXB (Dubai), DWC (Dubai), AUH (Abu Dhabi). Related IATA city code in this dataset: SHJ. To turn a booked PNR that contains SHJ into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.
How to use this page

- Convert and check that city and timezone match this record.
- Use the airport-code page if you only need IATA versus ICAO for SHJ.
- Do not copy terminal or lounge claims from other websites onto this page. They are not stored here.
Example
Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 SHJLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read SHJ as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If SHJ is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
