Muscat Airport
Muscat, Oman
Muscat International Airport (IATA: MCT), formerly Seeb International Airport, is the largest and busiest airport in Oman. It lies in the Seeb area, 32 km from the old city of Muscat, within the capital's metropolitan area. It is the hub of the flag carrier Oman Air and of SalamAir, Oman's first budget airline.
AirHelp ranked Muscat Airport No. 5 in its global airport ranking for 2025, with an overall score of 8.47 out of 10. Its partial scores were 8.3 for on-time performance, 8.8 for customer opinion and 8.6 for food and shops.
Muscat's first airport, Bayt al-Falaj, opened in 1929 and was known for its sharp turns and steep descents between the surrounding mountains. It was used by Gulf Aviation, Oman International Services and the oil company Petroleum Development Oman, but it became too small and was considered unusually dangerous, which led to the construction of a new airport. Today flights from Muscat serve regional destinations as well as Asia, Africa and Europe.
