Oman’s Transport & Communications Ministry has awarded two contracts worth a total of OR155.1m ($403m) at Muscat International and Salalah International airports.
The first contract worth OR127.5m was awarded to the UK’s Ultra Electronics and covers all electronic infrastructure, including installing information technology and security systems at both airports.
Germany’s Siemens was the low bidder for this contract (MEED 29:4:11).
