MUSCAT: The Foreign Ministry urged Omani citizens in tense areas to exercise caution regarding their safety and security; and to leave whenever circumstances permit, due to the serious security repercussions in the region.
The ministry stressed the importance of registering their contact information with Omani embassies in those countries, or through the Foreign Ministry app, or by calling the Operations Office at the following number: 00968 24634397. The ministry also calls on citizens wishing to travel to those countries to postpone their travel for the time being.
Meanwhile, Oman Airports has issued an advisory urging all passengers travelling through Muscat International Airport to check the latest status of their flights with the operating airlines before heading to the airport, amidst escalating regional developments.
The statement comes as several destinations in the region may be affected by temporary airspace closures or operational disruptions. Travellers bound for affected locations are advised to stay in close contact with their airlines to confirm schedules and avoid potential delays or cancellations.
“In light of the current developments in some neighbouring countries, we encourage passengers flying to impacted destinations to coordinate directly with their carriers prior to arriving at the airport,” the advisory stated.
The airport operator emphasised that proactive communication is essential to ensure smooth travel plans and minimise inconvenience. It also reiterated its ongoing commitment to passenger safety and operational readiness. “We appreciate your cooperation and wish you a safe journey, God willing,” the statement concluded. Passengers are encouraged to follow updates via official airline channels and Oman Airports’ communication platforms.
