From 1 April, Oman will no longer accept paper air waybills. As part of the country’s e-policy, all AWB data must be submitted electronically. The move is part of an attempt to help facilitate and develop Customs services. The Royal Oman Police urged all logistics, transport and handling companies to file within Oman’s electronic Bayan system, according to Times of Oman.
