SUBJECT: TFPK01: OMAN GRANTS BLANKET OVERFLIGHT CLEARANCE
FOR RELIEF MISSIONS

On October 12, Royal Oman Air Force HQ informed Embassy
Muscat Defense Attache Office that it is granting blanket
diplomatic clearance for all relief flights overflying Oman
to the afflicted regions. Aircraft need only initiate
contact with Omani ATC prior to entering Omani airspace, and
use the appointed flight designation for relief-related
missions. We note that granting such blanket flight
clearance approval is an exceptional step by the Omani
government.
