Muscat Municipality Chairman reviews progress on Al Ansab–Al Jifnain road dualisation: 58% complete
Muscat: As part of his ongoing field visits to monitor development and service projects in the Wilayat of Bausher, His Excellency Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Humaidi, Chairman of Muscat Municipality, visited the Al Ansab to Al Jifnain Road Dualisation Project site last Wednesday to assess progress. This major infrastructure project aims to ease traffic congestion and support the area's growing needs. The 15-kilometre route involves expanding the existing single-lane road from Falaj Al Sham Roundabout into a dual carriageway with three lanes in each direction. The project also includes converting four roundabouts into multi-level interchanges, constructing three flyovers connected to the Al Jifnain Bridge, and installing smart traffic signal systems at key intersections to improve traffic flow and safety. The scope also encompasses 20 kilometres of service roads adjacent to the main carriageway, the installation of box culverts for stormwater and wadi drainage at critical points, and the relocation and protection of utility lines to prevent disruption to progress. His Excellency commended the project team and the contractor for their dedication, noting that work has reached 58 per cent completion, which is ahead of expectations. He said this progress reflects strong on-site supervision and effective coordination between all parties, which could lead to the project finishing ahead of schedule in August 2026. The Al Ansab to Al Jifnain Road Dualisation Project was awarded in September 2023, with an expected execution period of 36 months. It forms part of a wider programme of strategic development projects in Muscat Governorate, in line with Royal directives to improve road infrastructure and enhance connections between Muscat and other governorates.

Oman Air achieves threefold increase in point-to-point traffic
Oman Air has seen a significant increase in point-to-point passengers, rising from 75,000 in June 2024 to 200,000 in June 2025, marking a near threefold increase. Point-to-point traffic - passengers flying directly into Oman rather connecting onwards - now accounts for 58 per cent of the airline's total flight loads. Mike Rutter, Chief Commercial Officer at Oman Air, said: 'A core pillar of our strategy is to increase point-to-point traffic; not simply by adding more flights, but by ensuring each flight brings more visitors directly to the country. The growth we have achieved is the direct result of careful route planning, targeted marketing, and a network strategy that prioritises stable demand over aspiration. Our approach not only supports national tourism goals, but also drives a stronger revenue performance for the airline, which in turn will enable us to open new routes sustainably. We remain focused on keeping travel to Oman both accessible and attractive, while delivering on our promise to be an engine of Oman's tourism growth.'
