Sohar Airport

Sohar Airport, about 10km northwest of Sohar will help avoid the 2 hour long drive from either Muscat or Dubai. Sohar and the wider Batinah region have in recent years attracted industrial and commercial infrastructure investments. Moreover, cargo to Sohar is expected to increase in volume due to expected congestion at Sultan Qaboos Port in Muscat. The airport will also serve as a new gateway for passenger, cargo and courier traffic in northern Oman and a domestic and emergency alternative to Muscat International Airport.

The airport will add to a modern multimodal transport network that will fuel further economic growth in the Batinah region. It is being built within the proximity of the major commercial, industrial and economic centres of Sohar including the Port of Sohar Special Economic Zone and will compliment the future plans for a major expressway and rail network which will underpin the port city’s eventual transformation into a major industrial and economic hub on the Batinah coast. The airport is expected to be operational by 2014.
