Air Traffic in Oman
Air Traffic in Oman
The air traffic in Oman has now been well developed. The route network is well organized and utilized by various airlines, allowing for healthy price competition. Leading in Oman is, of course, the state airline 'Oman Air' based in Muscat . Thanks to several national and international airports, air traffic in Oman is well organized. The country is easily accessible for both cargo and passenger planes.
Entry possibilities
Those who want to travel to Oman have three options: You can reach the country on the Persian Gulf by cruise, cross the border by car or bus from Dubai, or fly to Oman from any airport. Currently, Oman Air offers the only direct flights from Germany, a very good airline that adheres to the standards of Etihad and Emirates (two state airlines from the United Arab Emirates).
Omani Airlines
Anyone wishing to travel from one end of the country to the other in Oman can also rely on planes. The airports in Muscat and Salalah meet international standards and are considered international airports for cargo and passenger air traffic. The smaller airports in Chasab, Duqm, Suhar, and Ras al-Hadd are also up to date in terms of comfort and technology. Four local airlines are available for air traffic in Oman:
- Air Shabellah – an Omani budget airline that started operations in 2017
- Oman Air – the state airline that has been active since 1993
- Salalah Air – a second budget airline founded in 2016
- Salam Air – also a budget airline, also from 2016
The recent establishment of airlines in the last few years reflects, among other things, the expansion of airports in the country, the state promotion of air traffic, and the willingness of people to switch from transport means like buses to airplanes.

General Economic Situation
The general economic situation in Oman is very good. The country owes this to two factors: firstly, the very prudent leadership of the Sultan Qaboos and secondly, the oil and gas resources in the country.

Thus, the tourism industry, industrial enterprises in general, and agriculture have also become important components of the domestic economy, even though the sale of oil and gas still accounts for around 80% of the government's revenue.
