Programs by industry in Muscat
Which courses fit work around Muscat's airport and port?
If you work around Muscat's airport or Port Sultan Qaboos, match your course to the side of that work you are in or want to join.
Muscat's airport carried 11.8 million international passengers in 2025, plus 1.3 million domestic passengers. If you work on the airport side, Airport Operations Fundamentals is the place to start, and Airport Ramp Services is also on the list. Airport Operations Fundamentals, Airport Ramp Services, Airline Cabin Crew and Foundation in Travel and Tourism Diploma are IATA courses, and they run live online or through Blue Ocean's IATA Authorized Training Center in Dubai, not in Muscat.
Asyad Ports has operated Port Sultan Qaboos since 1 January 2018, and a three stage plan covers infrastructure rehabilitation, equipment upgrades and an additional dock for large cruise ships. If you work in port or travel roles, look at Mastering Sea Port Operations and Foundation in Travel and Tourism Diploma.
