*Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive says new Muscat International Airport is a 'beautiful representation' of Omani culture and heritage
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, HE Akbar al-Baker, made an official tour of Muscat International Airport recently as part of Qatar Airways’ new office opening celebrations in the Omani capital.
Oman Airports Management Company chief executive officer Sheikh Aimen Ahmed Sultan al-Hosni was among the dignitaries who were with al-Baker.
State-owned Oman Airports Management Company is responsible for the management and operations of civil airports in the Sultanate of Oman. The infrastructure of the airports, including terminal buildings, cargo building, runway, apron, car parking and other facilities, are directly under the management of Oman Airports Management Company.
Al-Baker said, “It was an honour to officially tour the new Muscat International Airport and to have the opportunity to discuss and compare learnings with our regional peers in Oman. The new Muscat International Airport is a beautiful representation of Omani culture and heritage, and its state-of-the-art technologies, infrastructure and modernity are very impressive. As the main gateway into Muscat, this new airport will surely help attract even more visitors to this beautiful country.”
Al-Hosni said, “Oman Airports is delighted to welcome leaders of distinguished airlines from around the world to enrich and promote mutual relations between these airlines and our leading airports that have earned an excellent reputation among their global counterparts. It was our pleasure to welcome Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive HE al-Baker in a visit aimed at promoting the partnership between our companies, as we are committed to creating a high level of co-operation with all airlines that operate from our airports.”
The airport tour followed the official opening of Qatar Airways’ new office in Muscat, held in the attendance of al-Hosni; Qatar’s ambassador to Oman Ali bin Fahad al-Hajri Shahwani and other government officials and trade partners.
