Salalah Airport has retained its Five-Star rating from Skytrax for the second consecutive year, reinforcing its position among a select group of airports worldwide recognised for delivering exceptional passenger experiences and service standards.

The achievement highlights ongoing efforts by Oman Airports to enhance operational readiness, modernise facilities and improve customer services as Salalah continues to experience growing tourism and air traffic, particularly in Dhofar Governorate.

A series of development initiatives introduced over the past year contributed to the recognition.

These include the opening of the new Majan Lounge, which has expanded hospitality offerings and provided travellers with a more comfortable airport experience.

The airport has also upgraded its family and children's recreation area, creating a more welcoming environment for passengers during peak travel periods, including the popular Khareef Dhofar season.

Salalah Airport has further strengthened its commercial offering by attracting local brands and emerging Omani businesses, giving passengers access to products and services that showcase the country's culture, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Operational improvements have also been implemented to streamline passenger processes, increase efficiency and enhance overall service quality.

These measures have helped improve customer satisfaction while maintaining high international standards.

The recognition comes as the airport prepares for increased visitor arrivals during the Khareef season, with efforts focused on expanding its flight network, attracting additional international airlines and further upgrading facilities to accommodate rising demand.

Oman Airports said the continued Five-Star classification reflects growing confidence in Salalah Airport among both airlines and travellers.

Backed by modern infrastructure and sustained investment in passenger-focused services, the airport has strengthened its reputation as one of the Sultanate’s key aviation gateways and a leading regional airport delivering a seamless travel experience throughout the year. -TradeArabia News Service
