Work has now commenced on upgrading and expanding Muscat International Airport which when finished in 2011 will see the Sultanate of Oman’s principal air gateway able to accommodate more than 12 million annual visitor arrivals.

Plans for the airport development include a new terminal building, 32 air bridges and an additional runway while the existing runway will be upgraded to handle the super-sized Airbus A380.

The new terminal will be constructed between the airport’s runways and will have a floor area covering 290,000 square feet.
