Oman ends quarantine as flight traffic returns to pre-pandemic level

Oman lifted quarantine restrictions for all fully vaccinated travelers this week, giving the green light to airlines to go back to operating normally.

The lifting of the quarantine rule comes 18 months after the world was rocked by the COVID-19 pandemic that brought global economies to a halt.

Passengers going to the Sultanate need to take a PCR test before or upon arrival and must have been received two doses of COVID-19 vaccines approved in the country.

As the airport gears up to return to pre-pandemic traffic levels, Muscat International Airport has implemented safety measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to ensure the safety and health of all passengers and airport workers, Times of Oman reported.

“We are pleased on this holy day and we are on the threshold of returning to our full operations, at Muscat International Airport as well as the rest of the Sultanate’s airports,” Saud bin Nasser Al-Hubaishi, vice president of Muscat International Airport, said.

“We congratulate all of our airport families for this return, which we all have been longing for, to continue our sincere national role in receiving and bidding farewell to all of Oman’s visitors,” he added.
