The consulting team of FMG, the Munich Airport
operating company, has been awarded a large, new contract for the
commissioning, relocation and operation of airports. Under the
contract, which has a total volume in the double-digit millions,
the FMG experts will be busy for four and a half years at two
airports in the Sultinate of Oman.
Traffic at the international airport in Muscat
and Salalah Airport has been steadily increasing in recent years,
and forecasts call for this trend to continue. To meet this
demand, the Sultinate of Oman has decided to increase capacity at
both airports and improve the quality offered to passengers and
airlines.
Measures at Muscat Airport will include a new
terminal building, a tower and a new runway to increase the
airport's capacity from 4 million at present to 12 million
passengers per year. In Salalah, a new terminal is planned to
handle 1 million passengers per year and the runway will be
extended.
FMG's ORAT team (Operational Readiness and
Airport Transfer) emerged with the winning bid from a large field
of competitors to gain the largest consulting contract in the
company's history. A decisive factor was Munich Airport's
international experience in this area – highlighted by the feat
of moving its own operations from the old Munich Riem airport to
the Erdinger Moos region in just one night in May 1992.
At present
the FMG consulting team is supporting projects in Delhi, Doha,
Bahrain, Vienna and Berlin. The experts from
Munich will start their work in Oman in November 2010.
