Oman is stepping up its sustainable aviation agenda with a focus on regulatory reforms, emissions tracking, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) development. The Civil Aviation Authority has set up a national task force to build a framework for SAF production using waste, agricultural feedstocks, hydrogen, and carbon capture. Airlines are also upgrading fleets and optimizing flight operations to cut fuel use. The country submitted its emissions reduction plan to ICAO in 2023 and is working on domestic carbon credit projects under the CORSIA offset scheme. These moves align with Oman Vision 2040 and the goal of net zero by 2050. The article gives a solid overview of how a Gulf state is trying to decarbonize aviation without waiting for global mandates.
