Bashar Saleh Al Thaher, Commercial Advisor, Oman Airports Management Company (OAMC) tells TRBusiness that early operating indicators at the $1.8bn New Muscat Airport, which opened in March, are healthy.

In the six months to September, growth across all categories has been up around 12%, as the airport invests in its high-end fashion precinct and other areas.

Separately, he reveals that new retail concessions have been awarded at Oman’s regional airports at Duqm and Sohar and reflects on spend per passenger hikes at Salalah Airport under concessionaire ATÜ Duty Free.
