Oman’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is taking major steps toward transforming the sultanate’s aviation activities with a tender for the development of three new domestic airports.

In September this year, Oman Airports had released a tender that involves the master planning, design, and supervision of three new domestic airports located at key tourism destinations: Al Jabal Al Akhdar in Al Dakhiliyah Governorate, Masirah Island in South Al Sharqiyah, and Suhar in North Al Batinah. 

Naif bin Ali al Abri, the Chairman of the CAA, has unveiled plans to construct six airports across Oman over the next five years. The expansion move isn’t just about constructing new airports, rather a strategic move to bolster tourism, enhance logistics, and attract investments to key regions.

As per sources, the CAA is also making all the efforts to license a second low-cost carrier to complement existing SalamAir.
