About Muscat International Airport

Muscat International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 23.60° N, 58.29° E, on Asia/Muscat time (UTC+4).

Muscat International Airport has 2 runways. The longest, 08R/26L, measures 13,386 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the full-length intercontinental category: a fully loaded Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can depart for the far side of the world. The surface is asphalt. Both are lit for night operations.

Runway 08R/26L is aligned roughly east/west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that east/west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
