Mubasher: Oman’s airports are expected to witness 40 million passengers by 2030, according to the Oman Aviation Group.
Established in 2018 to develop the GCC nation’s aviation sector, the group played a key role in welcoming 1.3 million additional passengers and 215,000 tonnes of air cargo through Muscat alone, Arabian Business reported.
The Oman-based group provided as much as 980 direct Omani jobs and about 8,000 indirect jobs in the sultanate in one year.
With the aviation sector contributing OMR 890 million ($2.3 billion) to the GCC nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), the Oman-based aviation group plans to further develop its economic expansion, CEO Mustafa Al Hinai said.
The Omani group creates “a robust value chain linking aviation, tourism and logistics across the sultanate,” Al Hinai added, revealing plans to “position Oman as a strategic hub and a world-class destination amongst international travellers.”
The Muscat International Airport ranked as one of the world’s top 18 airports with the help of the Omani group which also contributed to opening new airports in Muscat and Duqm in addition to two new air cargo terminals.
