Muscat International Airport (IATA code: MCT, ICAO code: OOMS), formerly known as Seeb International Airport, is the main international airport in Oman. Located in Seeb, 32 kilometers from the old city and capital Muscat within the Muscat metropolitan area, the airport serves as the hub for flag carrier Oman Air and Oman's first budget airline Salam Air features flights to several regional destinations as well as some intercontinental services to Asia, Africa and Europe.
Covering an area of 5,250 acres (21 square kilometers), the airport has two terminals. Terminal 1 is newly built. Covering an area of 580,000 square meters, it features 118 check-in counters, 10 baggage reclaim belts, 82 immigration counters, 45 gates as well as a new ATC tower, and increases the airport capacity to 48 million annual passengers.
Terminal 2 is a single building, two-story passenger T-shaped terminal. It opened in the 1970s as a replacement of the Bait al-Falaj airport and has been expanded several times during the last years to cater for growing passenger numbers. It has 58 check-in counters, 23 departure gates, 4 baggage reclaim belts and some service counters and shops. During its years of operation, passengers and crew were transported to and from the aircraft using shuttle buses as the terminal lacks jet bridges.
In 2019, the airport handled a total of 15,989,921 passengers, an increase of 4% from the previous year, and 240,285 metric tonnes of cargo.
