Musandam hosts 'All of Oman' Initiative
KHASAB: The activities of the "All of Oman" project were launched on Monday in the Wilayat of Khasab, marking its tenth stop in a series of field meetings organised by the Oman Vision 2040 Implementation Follow-up Unit under the auspices of Sayyid Ibrahim bin Said al Busaidy, Governor of Musandam, with broad participation from representatives of government and private sectors. "The visit of 'All of Oman' project reflects the nation's steadfast commitment to applying the principle of decentralisation and enhancing direct communication between stakeholders responsible for implementing the vision and governorate development," Sayyid Ibrahim said. He added that this step underscores the Oman Vision 2040 Implementation Follow-up Unit's keen interest in monitoring the execution of plans and strategies designed to achieve the vision's ambitious goals. He further stated: "Our focus is on elevating performance levels and achieving efficiency and satisfaction to meet our economic aspirations and enhance societal well-being, while always emphasising that people are the core, purpose and foundation of the vision." This initiative aims to strengthen partnerships with governorates and empower them to formulate their developmental visions and plans, based on a decentralised approach that embodies the objectives of the ambitious national vision. The event will continue for three days. The programme includes visual presentations highlighting efforts to achieve the vision's goals, with a focus on the priority of sustainable governorate and urban development. It also features various workshops, including one on mechanisms for setting and monitoring targets, another on development methodologies, and a session on change management. These workshops aim to enhance the institutional capacities of government and private entities, contributing to sustainable development. The initiative also includes an interactive session with the youth of the governorate, engaging them in dialogue about Oman Vision 2040. The meeting further seeks to involve a number of inspiring young individuals from each governorate by showcasing their experiences and success stories.

Oman: Proposed Musandam Airport to enter bidding stage
MUSCAT: The final design of the proposed Musandam Airport has been completed and a strategy is being prepared to start the tendering process. It was revealed by Sayyid Ibrahim bin Said al Busaidy, Governor of Musandam, during the recently held dialogue on the development of the governorates, which included Al Batinah North, Al Batinah South, Al Dakhiliyah and Musandam. It may be noted that Governors are accorded more powers following the issuance of the Governorates System in 2022. It was also revealed that the Dibba Lima-Khasab road is 40 per cent complete and is progressing well as per the timeline. Work is underway on the dual carriageway between Farq and Izki while streetlight work will be completed on the Al Batinah Expressway before the end of the year. A study is underway to divert trucks on the road linking Al Batinah North and Al Batinah South governorates, without affecting economic activity. As per earlier reports, Musandam Airport is expected to be ready in the second half of 2028. The project assumes significance due to operational challenges facing the current Khasab Airport, especially the possibility of operating services for 24 hours. The project will be divided into phases. The first stage will include a 45-metre-wide runway. A passenger building (to handle 250,000 passengers annually) will be constructed in addition to an air traffic control tower, runway (2,520 metres long and 45 metres wide), taxiways, a fire station, equipment repair shops, a marine rescue station and parking lots for aircraft. There will be a new road of 7-km leading to the airport. In the second phase, the runway will be expanded to 3,300 metres capable of Airbus 330s, 350s and Boeing 787s and 777s, in addition to increasing the number of taxiways and parking lots for aircraft, an aircraft isolation yard and the terminal building (if required). 2022 © All right reserved for Oman Establishment for Press, Publication and Advertising (OEPPA) Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
