Salalah International Airport, Oman

completed

This airport is ultra-modern with dynamically designed buildings and steel structures clad with glazed curtain walls, capped with a lightweight, free-flowing wave and metal roofs giving the notion of flight, though it is firmly anchored to the ground with solid podium edifices. Built by our Buildings business vertical, it features a swanky 65,000 Sq. m Passenger Terminal Building which is an expression of the region with palm-like pillars; a 4,000 m long runway and a 57 m tall ATC tower. Some salient aspects are the exclusive cast glass water feature at the entrance and exit; canopies that break up the large terminal roof into smaller, attractive units; a VIP facility that is traditional in design and material. The pillar-like columns are evocative of the palm trees that are abundant in the region and when lit, they create the impression of floating columns.
