Salalah International Airport, Dhofar Governorate, Oman
Salalah International Airport is the second largest airport in the Sultanate of Oman. It started operations in 1977 as a domestic airport and turned international in 2004. Salalah is a major tourist destination in Oman because of the city’s cooler climate in summers.
The airport handled 1.52 million passengers and 14,444 aircraft movements in 2017.
The Omani Government’s strategic initiative to develop the city’s tourism further has raised the need to improve the airport’s capacity and facilities. As a result, the Ministry of Transport and Communications undertook a series of expansions at the airport.
A new international terminal is one of the most significant expansions, which considerably increased the passenger capacity of the airport.
