As one of the few airports in the region currently operating 24 hours a day without slot constraints, Oman Airports is well positioned to support airlines requiring operational flexibility, additional capacity, or temporary network adjustments. For new airlines considering operations to Oman, Oman Airports will work closely with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Oman to help facilitate and expedite regulatory approvals wherever possible. Given the current disruption to regional air connectivity, Oman can also serve as an alternative entry point to the Gulf, with onward land transportation connections possible to several GCC destinations";
