Oman
's
Salalah Airport
is introducing a new
drive-through check-in
facility to ease passenger movement during the busy khareef season. Known for its lush green landscapes and cooler weather, Salalah draws thousands of visitors each year between July and September. In anticipation of this seasonal rush, authorities are launching measures to streamline the travel process, as per a report by Conde Nast Traveller.
Starting July 15, Salalah Airport, Oman, will offer drive-through check-in services to passengers, allowing them to complete check-in formalities from their cars. The initiative, branded 'Travel Easier,' will run until October 15, during the peak tourism period.
The drive-through facility will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Passengers can check in, print boarding passes, and drop off luggage up to 12 hours before flight time, all without stepping out of their vehicle. The move is aimed at reducing terminal crowding and streamlining passenger movement during the khareef, when demand for flights spikes.
