Oman is trying to attract private capital into its aviation sector as part of a 15-year strategy to improve connectivity and modernise infrastructure.
It is seeking more than OR1 billion ($2.6 billion) in cumulative private-sector investments under the country’s National Aviation Strategy 2040, but industry analysts caution that turning investor interest into bankable projects will be “operationally demanding”.
Its 2040 targets include handling more than 40 million passengers, transporting about 1 million tonnes of air cargo and raising the sector’s contribution to gross domestic product to more than 3.5 percent, according to the state-run Oman News Agency.
