Muscat International Airport

Muscat International Airport, rebuilt with a modern terminal that opened in 2018 (replacing the original Seeb site from the 1970s), is Oman’s largest aviation gateway with one main passenger terminal serving regional and long-haul routes. Located in Seeb about 30–35 km northwest of central Muscat, the airport is well linked by the Sultan Qaboos highway, Mwasalat buses, airport shuttles, taxis and plentiful car-rental options, making nearby cities easily accessible. As Oman’s primary hub for Oman Air and a base for low-cost SalamAir, Muscat handles growing traffic while offering a generally mid-to-upper price profile for services — though budget flight options are available.
