Work on Oman’s $1.8-billion new Muscat International Airport is continuing on schedule for its opening next year. The new terminal will be able to handle 12 million passengers per year, said a Times of Oman report.

Oman plans further expansions in three subsequent phases to boost the airport’s annual capacity to 24, 36, and 48 million passengers when the demand warrants.

The new airport will have two parallel runways capable of serving the world’s largest aircraft including A380s and also have a 90-room airside hotel.
