Strategic military air base in southern Oman.

Location

Thumrait, Oman

Thumrait Air Base is a Royal Air Force of Oman military installation located in the Dhofar Governorate of southern Oman, near the town of Thumrait. It sits at an elevation of approximately 1,037 meters (3,402 feet) above sea level on the Nejd plateau, giving it strategic value in the region. The base has historically hosted coalition and allied forces, including U.S. and British military aircraft, particularly during operations in the Middle East. It played a role during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and subsequent regional military activities. Although assigned the IATA code TTH, Thumrait functions primarily as a military facility with very limited, if any, scheduled commercial passenger services. Its dual-use status means it can accommodate large military transport and tactical aircraft.
