Muscat International Airport The Gateway To Oman

Muscat International Airport The Gateway To Oman

The Sultanate of Oman is a country that beckons the world, and Suresh K. Virmani, the man who is always on a mission to excellence - Muscat International Airport is yet another such challenge.


The award of electro-mechanical works, on design and build basis of the new Muscat International Airport Passenger Terminal Building and construction of electrical and mechanical infrastructure works is the largest such project in the history of nation and of BEC.
The 550,000 sq. mtr. of built up area including Ancillary Forecourt Buildings, Traffic Concourse and multi-structured Car Park shall be capable to handle 12 million passengers per annum. The Terminal building also includes a 90 room Hotel and will have 40 passenger boarding bridges. The capacity of Central Air-Conditioning Plant is 34,000 TR. It shall have 3 Nos 132/11 KV Substations with 340 MVA installed transformer capacity.

For Suresh K. Virmani, M.D. and the man behind the success of BEC, it is all about commitment to excellence and walking the talk - "and we have been doing so for 35 years now and are still hungry for more! - says Virmani.
"The new Muscat International Airport will be the true Gateway to Oman. The most beautiful and peace loving country in the entire region for those who love and enjoy natural beauty, tranquil beaches, and rejuvenating atmosphere, it is a must visit. We are obviously proud to be associated with this land mark project in the history of the nation".
"BEC made a strong bid, and our consortium was awarded this prestigious project," he further adds. "It's the largest ever project in the electromechanical arena undertaken by a company in Oman. Even so, the joy of getting an order is momentary; the celebration is only when you deliver. However, I'd like to emphasise here that we are ready to take on similar projects, even simultaneously alongside the airport project. We have reorganised the whole company, and are ready to triple our present turnover in two years time!
From an Indian standpoint, Oman is a natural partner country, with ties that date back to the old seafaring linkages; the intimacy of Oman's royal family with India; and the decisive role of the Indian expatriate community in the building of Oman. A flight into the Sultanate takes just two hours; there's excellent air connectivity between Muscat and several Indian cities; and people-to-people relations remain warm and friendly as ever.
"There's no better place than Oman to go on a vacation, especially between November and March, when the weather is great. I would love to see more Indian visitors coming to Oman. I promise you in a couple of years you will have a world class airport to welcome you. But you can be assured of a warm welcome anytime because the Omani people have always been very hospitable," Virmani summates.
