Which side of the plane to sit from Calicut International Airport (Calicut) to Muscat International Airport (Muscat)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Omani coastline and the historic architecture of Muscat during the final approach into the capital city.
Arabian Sea Shipping Lanes
Spotting cargo vessels and oil tankers navigating the busy maritime routes between the Indian subcontinent and the Persian Gulf.
Omani Coastal Cliffs
The dramatic transition from the deep blue sea to the arid, limestone cliffs of the Arabian Peninsula.
Old Muscat & Mutrah
A bird's-eye view of the historic port, the Mutrah Corniche, and the ancient forts guarding the harbor.
Mina Al Fahal
The scenic oil terminal bay where ships anchor against a backdrop of jagged coastal mountains.
Muscat Cityscape
The clean, white low-rise architecture of the capital nestled tightly between the mountains and the Gulf of Oman.
Sit on the right for morning arrivals to see the coastline illuminated by the sun. Keep your camera ready roughly 20 minutes before landing, as this is when the plane banks to align with the runway, offering the best views of the Mutrah Corniche and the Sultan's Palace area.
Malabar Shoreline
Sweeping views of the lush Kerala coast and the backwaters shortly after takeoff from Calicut.
Arabian Sunset
Vibrant orange and pink hues reflecting over the open ocean during late afternoon and evening flights.
Southern Hajar Peaks
The rugged, dark mountain ridges of the Al Hajar range as the plane enters Omani airspace from the south.
Qurum Beach
The long, popular sandy stretch of Muscat's beachfront visible during the final descent into MCT.
Choose the left side for evening departures to avoid direct sun glare while enjoying the sunset. This side is also excellent for observing the vastness of the Arabian Sea and the southern approach into the city's residential districts.
