In line with the government’s ninth five year development plan and under the leadership and vision of HM Sultan Qaboos, the Oman Airport Management Company (OAMC) has unveiled the five year corporate strategy.
The five year strategy sets out the purpose, vision and mission for the company and outlines a strategic roadmap to achieve these objectives between 2016 and 2020. The Purpose, ‘Growing gateways to beauty and opportunity’ is designed to work hand-in-hand with the Sultanate’s bourgeoning tourism, transport and logistics sectors.
According to the OAMC transformation strategy, airports in Oman are gateways to the country, thus opening doors. Further, in creating and operating airports, OAMC will also present and enable numerous opportunities that will commercially enhance social and economic prosperity of the nation.
The transformation strategy also outlines the Company’s vision for Oman Airports to be ranked among the top twenty airports in the world by 2020. Currently Muscat International Airport is ranked within top ten airports in the Middle East with an average yearly growth forecast of 7.9%. Over the next year OAMC will focus on transition and launch of the new Muscat International Airport Terminal and eventually operate both existing and new terminal, boosting airport capacity to 12,000 million people per annum.
With 60% of the world’s population located within six hours of the GCC, the Company has the unique opportunity to capitalize on Oman’s strategic location.
The aim of the new five year strategy is not only to deliver a way forward for OAMC, but to position the company as a key contributor to the economic growth and prosperity of the Sultanate. In formulating the new strategy, OAMC undertook comprehensive consultations involving all key stakeholders that contribute to the nation’s development march and the aviation sector, directly or indirectly.
