Oman’s Transport Ministry seeks to spur a sixfold increase in aviation’s contribution to GDP in the next decade, aiming to boost the figure from OMR159 million ($61 million) in 2018 to OMR890 in 2030, as forecasts also show a planned doubling of passengers using Oman’s airports, to 40 million a year, and air cargo quadrupling to 730 million tons, as announced in Oman’s new "National Aviation Strategy 2030."
