Swissport International
Won a five-year hub-handling contract for SalamAir at Muscat International Airport effective 1 Jan 2019 ("full range of services, from passenger services to ramp operations"), also covering SalamAir's flights at the private Mukhaizna airstrip; confirmed via Swissport's own press release and Oman Observer/Aviation Pros coverage. Swissport also handled the inaugural Salam Air Cargo flight at MCT on 27 Oct 2022 (Swissport/airport-technology.com), with airport-technology.com noting Swissport "has been offering ramp handling and passenger services to Salam Air in Muscat since 2018" - so the relationship is corroborated through late 2022. The original 5-year term would nominally have run to ~2024 and no reporting confirms renewal or continuation into 2026, so marked unconfirmed for current status rather than dropped.
