OMAN. Munich Airport operator FMG has been awarded a new four-and-a-half year contract for the commissioning, relocation and operation of two airports in the Sultanate of Oman.
FMG emerged with the winning bid from a large field of competitors to gain the largest consulting contract in the company’s history. FMG’s consulting team will begin work in Oman in November 2010.
Traffic at the international airport in Muscat and Salalah Airport has been steadily increasing in recent years, and this trend is forecast to continue. To meet this demand, the Sultanate of Oman intends to increase capacity at both airports and improve the quality offered to passengers and airlines.
Plans at Muscat Airport include a new terminal building, a tower and a new runway to increase the airport’s capacity from 4 million to 12 million passengers per year.
In Salalah a new terminal is planned, to handle 1 million passengers per year, and the runway will be extended.
FMG is currently working on projects in Delhi, Doha, Bahrain, Vienna and Berlin.
