Airport HistoryEst. 1973
Muscat's airport story begins with Bayt al-Falaj Airport, operational from 1929, which was succeeded in 1973 by Seeb International Airport, a modern facility designed with Dutch consultancy and Greek construction expertise. Renamed Muscat International Airport in 2008, it gained a major new terminal in 2018 capable of handling the Airbus A380, alongside a second runway completed in 2014.
Muscat's first airfield, Bayt al-Falaj, becomes fully operational but is limited by a dangerous mountain approach and its inability to handle larger aircraft.
The new airport opens ceremonially as Seeb International Airport on January 1, designed by the Netherlands Airport Consultancy and built by Joannou & Paraskevaides, initially with a single terminal and just two check-in desks.
The original terminal is extended through the 1980s-1990s with new arrivals and immigration facilities and a dedicated cargo terminal to keep pace with growing traffic.
The airport is given its present name on February 1, reflecting Oman's modernizing aviation identity.
A second runway is inaugurated, supporting the airport's planned capacity expansion.
A new terminal, under construction since 2007, opens with 118 check-in counters, 82 immigration desks and 45 gates able to accommodate the Airbus A380.
