Travel disruption

Commercial flights are operating from Muscat to the UK. Internal flights continue from Salalah in Dhofar Governorate to Muscat. Commercial flights to and from Khasab airport in Musandam Governorate are currently suspended. If you are still in Oman and need to get back to the UK, check for availability with airlines or your travel provider.
