Muscat, Feb 2 - Starting February 10, vehicles coming to Muscat International Airport to drop or pick up passengers will be allowed a ‘free waiting period’ of 10 minutes at the arrival or departure gates.
In a statement released on Saturday, Oman Airports said vehicles exceeding 10 minutes of stay will be charged a fee.
“The new rule comes into force from February 10 and is based on the feedback from the users of airport and other stakeholders,” it said.
“It will help regulate the flow of traffic at the airport,” it said.
Previously, vehicles were permitted to wait for only three minutes for pick-up and drop-off outside the terminals.
Oman Airports said the system had been successfully implemented at Salalah Airport, with studies revealing the process of dropping off or picking up passengers
does not take more than three to four minutes.
