Airports: Oman
The METAR and TAF decoder database holds 23 airports in Oman. 15 of them have an IATA code and every one has an ICAO code, which in this country starts with OO. For every airport on the list below the site shows the current METAR and the TAF forecast decoded into plain English, together with a map, runway data and a clock in the airport's local time.

Largest airports in Oman
The most significant airports in the database for this country are Muscat International Airport (Muscat/Seeb) (OOMS/MCT), Suhar International Airport (OOSH/OHS), Duqm International Airport (OODQ/DQM), Salalah International Airport (OOSA/SLL) and Thumrait Air Base (OOTH/TTH).
Weather reports identify an airport by its four-letter ICAO code, not by the IATA code - which is why the METAR for OOMS is available even for airports with no ticketing code. The airports of Oman are spread across 22 municipalities listed in the database.
Airports by classification
How the airports break down: small airports and airfields - 14; medium-sized airports - 5; large airports - 4.
The classification comes from OurAirports and describes the size of the infrastructure, not passenger traffic. Regular METAR and TAF reports come mostly from the larger airports; small airfields often publish none at all - in that case the nearest reporting station is listed in the "nearby airports" section of the airport page.
Geographic span and time zones
The northernmost airport in the database is Khasab Airport (OOKB/KHS) (26°10'N), the southernmost is Salalah International Airport (OOSA/SLL) (17°02'N). East to west the extremes are Ras al Hadd Airport (Ras ar Ruays) (OORH) (59°44'E) and Thumrait Air Base (OOTH/TTH) (54°01'E).
The highest airport is Saiq Airport (OOSQ) at 6,500 ft / 1,981 m above sea level, the lowest is Suhar International Airport (OOSH/OHS) (20 ft / 6 m). Elevation matters when reading a report: METAR cloud bases are given above aerodrome level, not above mean sea level.
The airports here sit in 2 time zones: Asia/Muscat and Asia/Riyadh. METAR and TAF are always issued in UTC (the "Z" suffix), which is why every airport page runs a clock in the airport's own local time next to the report.
METAR and TAF for airports in Oman
Each airport page shows the raw METAR plus a full decode: flight category (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR), wind direction and speed with gusts, visibility, weather phenomena, cloud layers with their bases, temperature, dew point and QNH pressure. The TAF forecast is split into its validity periods including the change groups (BECMG, TEMPO, PROB).
METAR is normally issued every 30 or 60 minutes and TAF four times a day, with extra amendments when conditions change. The data comes from the Aviation Weather Center (NOAA) and is fetched live on every visit.
