About Qarn Alam Airport
Qarn Alam Airport (RNM, ICAO: OOGB) is a small civil airport in central Oman serving the oil town of Qarn Alam in Al Wusta Governorate. The airfield lies about 7 km north-northwest of the town and roughly 340 km from Muscat by road.
The airport primarily supports Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) operations in the Qarn Alam oil concession area. Scheduled domestic flights between Muscat and Qarn Alam are operated on behalf of PDO, making the airport an important air link for staff, contractors and approved visitors traveling to remote oil facilities.
Qarn Alam has a single asphalt runway of about 2,560 metres. The compact terminal handles arrivals and departures in one shared area, with basic passenger facilities and no public customs or fuel services.
Road access to the site is available for private transfers, taxis and self-drive journeys, though the connection to Muscat takes several hours. Travelers are advised to arrange transport in advance because public options at this remote airfield are very limited.
