Flying from Muscat to Chattogram
In short
A number of airlines fly nonstop from Muscat International Airport (MCT) to Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram (CGP): SalamAir, US-Bangla Airlines and Biman Bangladesh Airlines. The 3,429 km flight takes about 4 hours 45 minutes, the shorter direction on this route, and it mostly carries Bangladeshi workers from Chattogram Division going home from Oman.
SalamAir, US-Bangla or Biman?
SalamAir, Oman's budget airline, has the most flights, about 13 a week on OV401 and OV403, using an Airbus A321neo with 20 kg of checked baggage. US-Bangla flies about three times a week and Biman twice, on a Boeing 777-300ER; both include 30 kg. Everyone gets 7 kg in the cabin. Families carrying a load of gifts usually lean towards the Bangladeshi airlines.
Mwasalat buses or a taxi to Seeb
The airport is at Seeb, about 32 km from old Muscat and Muttrah, so budget for traffic as well as check-in. Mwasalat's A1 bus runs from Ruwi at any hour, and route 8, between Al Mouj and Al Khuwair, also stops at the airport around the clock. Taxis cost more but save the walk with heavy cases.
The current terminal opened in March 2018, with a first phase built for 20 million passengers a year, so check-in halls rarely feel cramped. It is home base for SalamAir and for the flag carrier Oman Air.
Muscat's summer heat and Arabian Sea cyclones
Afternoon highs in Muscat average 39.5 °C in May, and the city's record of 49.2 °C was set in August. Carry water and avoid standing at a roadside stop at midday. Cyclones in the Arabian Sea occasionally disrupt flights, mostly around June; Gonu struck in June 2007 and Phet in June 2010. If a storm is forecast, check your airline's notices before leaving.
Chattogram is two hours ahead of Oman
Oman keeps UTC+4 and Bangladesh UTC+6, so set your watch two hours forward in Chattogram. The gap is the same in every season.
Shah Amanat's 2,940 m runway
Shah Amanat's single runway runs 2,940 m and can take aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 747-400, so Biman's 777-300ER fits comfortably, though the terminal is far smaller than the one at Seeb. The airport was called MA Hannan until April 2005, when it was renamed after Shah Amanat, an 18th-century saint of the city; the code CGP stayed the same.
The airport sits at the river mouth, about 20 km from GEC Circle and 18.5 km from the city railway station. Expect slow traffic past the port on the way in.
Arriving in Patenga puts you on the right side of the city for the south. The road tunnel under the Karnaphuli, opened in 2023 and renamed the Karnaphuli Tunnel in February 2025, links Patenga with Anwara. The tube is 3.32 km, part of a 9.39 km route, with tolls from 200 to 1,000 taka by vehicle, and it shortens the drive towards Cox's Bazar.
Chattogram's wet July and cooler winter months
June to September brings most of Chattogram's 2,964 mm of rain a year, with July alone averaging 718 mm, and low roads can flood. January, with a mean of about 19.8 °C, and December are the coolest and driest months.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Getting there
Yes. Mwasalat route 8, which runs between Al Mouj and Al Khuwair, also stops at the airport, and like the A1 it operates around the clock. That saves a trip into Ruwi first if you are staying on the Al Khuwair side.
About 32 km, since the airport is out at Seeb rather than in the capital's old quarter. Budget for road traffic as well as check-in when you work out when to leave home.
Very. Afternoon highs average 39.5 °C in May, and the city's record of 49.2 °C was set in August. Do the airport run with water in the car and avoid standing at a roadside stop in the midday sun.
Occasionally, mostly around June. Cyclone Gonu struck in June 2007 and Cyclone Phet in June 2010, and both disrupted the city. If a storm is forecast, check your airline's notices before setting out for Seeb.
About 20 km to GEC Circle and 18.5 km to the city railway station, because the airport sits in Patenga, at the river mouth. Expect slow traffic past the port area on the way into the centre.
Timing & weather
Fairly new. The current passenger terminal opened in March 2018, with a first phase built for 20 million passengers a year, so check-in halls rarely feel cramped. It is also home base for SalamAir, Oman's budget airline, and for the flag carrier Oman Air.
Forward by two hours. Oman keeps UTC+4 and Bangladesh UTC+6, and neither changes its clocks during the year, so the difference is the same in every season.
Heavy. June to September brings most of the year's 2,964 mm, and July alone averages 718 mm. Low roads can flood after a downpour, so leave extra time for the drive from Patenga.
January, with a mean of about 19.8 °C, a welcome change after the Gulf. December follows close behind, and both months sit well clear of the June to September rains.
General
Shah Amanat's single runway runs 2,940 m and can take aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 747-400, so Biman's 777-300ER fits comfortably. The terminal itself is far smaller than the one you leave at Seeb.
Prices & payment
The tube under the river is 3.32 km, part of a 9.39 km route from South Patenga to Anwara. Tolls run from 200 to 1,000 taka depending on the vehicle. It was renamed the Karnaphuli Tunnel in February 2025, so older maps may show a different name.
Booking
That was Chattogram's airport until April 2005, when it was renamed after Shah Amanat, an 18th-century Islamic saint of the city. The code CGP stayed the same, so bookings and bag tags are unaffected.
