The airport will be constructed on a greenfield site and will form part of a wider plan to overhaul the nation’s air travel facilities, to meet the growing need from passengers in both the business and tourism sectors.
In total, Oman is developing six airports. They will link the capital Muscat with the interior, and other popular tourist destinations along the coast of the country.
The new airport will have a capacity of 12 million passengers a year during the first phase, increasing to 48 million eventually. The first phase is expected to be complete within three years. The current airport at Seeb handles just 4.2 million passengers a year.
