Oman’s Civil Aviation Authority has invited bids from consultants to develop a National Aviation Strategy up to 2040.

The tender documents are available until 31 January 2023 and bid submission closes on 28th February 2023, according to a public tender notice.

Oman’s National Aviation Strategy 2030 was announced in February 2020 which aimed to attract an investment of 1.4 billion Omani Riyals ($3.6 billion) in airport cities over 20 years.

The Civil aviation Authority’s plans for Oman’s aviation sector include expanding the country’s air navigation infrastructure, draft a new law on climate change mitigation, opening the sector to private and international investors by granting concessions for the management and operation of local airports, and aviation related services.
