MUSCAT: Oman Airports recorded a 2% year-on-year increase in passenger traffic in June 2025, with 1,134,924 travelers passing through the country’s airports, up from 1,109,745 in the same month last year.

This positive growth is attributed to coordinated efforts by Oman Airports and related authorities to establish the Sultanate as a year-round tourist destination. Key initiatives include ongoing enhancements to airport infrastructure, the integration of smart technologies, and improved traveler services designed to elevate the overall passenger experience from arrival to departure.

Oman Airports has prioritized seamless, high-quality, and safe travel by investing in advanced technologies that shorten processing times and increase operational efficiency. The commencement of the Khareef Dhofar Season—renowned for its mild climate and natural beauty—has also significantly contributed to attracting tourists during this period.

Officials view this increase as evidence of the effectiveness of promotional campaigns and tourism initiatives and highlight Oman’s airports’ capacity to handle growing passenger volumes while upholding international service standards.

Looking ahead, Oman Airports anticipates sustained travel activity throughout the year, driven by ongoing development projects and tourism events aimed at further enriching the passenger experience and creating a fully integrated travel environment that meets the needs of both visitors and residents. — ONA
