Ad
Duqm Airport is currently being built as part of a larger plan to
set up a modern seaport in the south east of Oman. Ad Duqm is a site
of potentially substantial investment and industrial development
related to the oil shipping industry with a dry dock being built.
The new airport is primarily expected to handle business and traffic
but may also become part of the tourism industry.
The new Ad Duqm Airport will serve as a gateway into a region with
significant economic, industrial and commercial potential. Besides
providing business investors, company executives and government
officials with a speedy and convenient mode of transport, the
airport also has the potential to open up Ad Duqm to tourism related
investment. The coastal city of Ad Duqm is planned to be Oman’s next
major industrial and shipping hub. The airport
is expected to be operational by 2014.
