There have also been times when the Air Force has commissioned the airport. In the past, the airport was still called Seeb International Airport, but in 2008 it was changed to Muscat International Airport. In order to continue to meet the demand for flights, innovations had to be made. For example, the runways have been extended and improved several times. A new terminal has also been built to significantly increase capacity to 20 million passengers per year. This one opened not too long ago in 2008. The old terminal is being renovated.
