Location

Suhar, Oman

Suhar International Airport is a commercial airport serving the city of Suhar (also spelled Sohar) in the Al Batinah North Governorate of Oman. The airport supports the growing industrial and port activity of the Suhar region, which hosts one of the largest port and industrial zone complexes in the Middle East.

It handles both passenger and cargo traffic, reflecting the area's industrial significance. Suhar International Airport operates with limited but growing scheduled airline services, connecting the city to regional destinations. Its development is aligned with Oman's broader strategy to decentralize aviation infrastructure and stimulate regional economic growth.
