Passenger numbers rise at Oman airports

MUSCAT: Oman Airports recorded a 2-per cent year-on-year increase in passenger traffic in June 2025, with 1,134,924 travellers passing through Oman’s airports, compared to 1,109,745 during the same month last year.
This modest but positive growth is credited to coordinated efforts by Oman Airports and relevant authorities to position the country as an all-year-round tourist destination.
These efforts include consistent upgrades to airport infrastructure, smart technologies and traveller services aimed at improving the overall passenger experience from arrival to departure.
Oman Airports has focused on ensuring seamless, high-quality and safe travel by investing in advanced technologies that reduce processing times and boost efficiency. The onset of the Khareef Dhofar Season, known for its mild climate and natural charm, has also been a key draw for tourists during this period.
Officials see this increase as a sign of the success of promotional campaigns and tourism initiatives. It also underscores the ability of Oman’s airports to accommodate growing traffic volumes while maintaining international service standards.
Looking ahead, Oman Airports expects travel activity to maintain momentum throughout the rest of the year. A combination of development projects and tourism events are set to further enhance the passenger experience and establish a fully integrated travel environment tailored to the needs of both visitors and residents. — ONA
