Oman Airports sets milestone in integrated logistics economy
Muscat: Oman Airports company on Wednesday signed an agreement to lease an investment plot of land for establishing a workshop specialised in aircraft tyre-and-brake repair. The investment plot forms part of the 2nd phase of the Air Cargo Gateway of the logistics zone at Muscat International Airport. The agreement was by Ahmed bin Said Al Amri, CEO of Oman Airports and Hussein Abdullah Al Haddad, CEO of EPIC, the company undertaking the project. The project, to be established on an area of 7,274 square metres, has an investment cost of OMR5 million. Mach Aerospace International will provide inspection, repair and restoration services for wheels and brakes of Airbus 320 and Boeing 787 aircraft in accordance with the highest technical and operational standards approved in this field. The project will contribute to enhancing the efficiency and safety of operational services at the airport. Al Amri said that the agreement marks the start of investment in lands on the area surrounding Muscat International Airport. The company announced investment in the area as part of its drive to explore opportunities for development and investment within the Muscat International Airport area. Al Amri said in a statement to the Oman News Agency (ONA) that Oman Airports has developed an integrated master plan to maximise benefits from lands within the boundaries of Muscat International Airport in a manner that realises the development of quality projects that keep pace with the future vision for the area. He added that Oman Airports seeks to enhance the airport's commercial aspects by expanding its facilities of hospitality, entertainment and interactive experiences. This approach, he explained, will raise the investment value of the lands, increase returns from direct and joint projects and contribute to maximising the income generated by investments in the real estate development sector. Al Amri pointed out that the agreement fits with the comprehensive strategy implemented by Oman Airports to convert airport cities into active economic and logistic platforms that support economic diversification and consolidate the Sultanate of Oman's position as an integrated regional hub for the aviation sector and support services. Hussein Abdullah Al Haddad, Chairman of the Board of Directors of EPIC, said that the agreement constitutes an important step towards achieving a strategic partnership between the government and the private sector, in terms of investment opportunities available in Muscat International Airport City. In a statement to ONA, Al Haddad said that the establishment of a workshop to repair aircraft tyres and brakes was in response to a real and growing need, notably amid the steady growth in the number of flights and passengers passing via Muscat International Airport. Al Haddad added that the presence of such workshops within the airport's premises saves the time and effort of airlines when dealing with emergency technical malfunctions, thereby diminishing the scope of delays and ensuring the smooth flow of flight operations.

Watch A Cybertruck Dangle In Mid-Air Thanks To Tesla Repair Glue
The Tesla Cybertruck has taken its fair share of flak — from depreciation to body panels falling off. Now it's going viral again for something entirely unexpected: being held mid-air by glue. In a recent YouTube video by JerryRigEverything, the wedge of stainless steel and fragile egos is seen dangling off the ground suspended from a crane. The only thing hold up the $100,000 truck was a two-and-a-half-inch patch of Tesla structural adhesive between the crane's hook and the 6,600-pound vehicle. This stunt followed a legitimate concern of Jerry's around Tesla's structural repair method. Months earlier, the same truck suffered what looked like a catastrophic failure when its tow hitch ripped clean out of the rear casting during a stress test that pushed far beyond its rated 1,100-pound tongue weight. Instead of getting totaled, the truck was repaired using Tesla's published repair procedure: sectioning out the broken gigacasting and gluing in a replacement section using a structural adhesive called Fusor 2098. After curing, this specific repair adhesive has a tensile strength of 3,190 pounds per square inch (psi). A two-and-a-half-inch patch of the same blue glue used in that repair bore the entire weight of the Cybertruck. You read that right — glued, cured, then hoisted skyward. Whether you see that as genius or terrifying probably depends on how much time you've spent in collision shops. Either way, it's an impressive demonstration. Read more: 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ Is All About Big Numbers Cool Stunt, But What This Means For Modern Car Repair The idea of glue holding your car together feels a little unsettling — like duct tape on a spaceship. But in today's auto engineering, it's not just common, but in many cases, it's the smarter, stronger choice. The adhesive used in the Cybertruck repair is a two-part epoxy classified as a Crash Durable Structural Adhesive. It's not Tesla-exclusive, either — all OEMs use similar stuff for high-strength bonding across differing substrates. Why not just weld it? Well, adhesives in some applications distribute loads more evenly, preserve material integrity, and protect against corrosion between joints. Plus, when paired with mechanical fasteners like rivets — which Tesla also specifies for this repair — the resulting bond can outperform welds in peel and impact strength. But there's a flip side: if your ride needs this kind of fix, it better be done exactly by the book. Adhesives can be uber-strong, but that doesn't mean it can, or should, be used in lieu of OEM repair procedures. Tesla mandates that only certified shops use specified adhesives, parts, and procedures. No aftermarket shortcuts, no recycled structures, and absolutely no expired glue. Every step — from grinding off etch-coat, to rivet type and spacing, to adhesive bead thickness — all laid out in the repair manuals. Here's where things get murky, though. If you're in a wreck, your insurance policy promises to return your car to its "pre-loss condition." But what does that even mean when you're gluing in structural chunks that were once a monolithic piece? Is a sectioned-then-epoxied casting still "as it was"? Tesla says yes — the repair is OEM-approved. Technically speaking, it should meet or exceed original specs — but that's assuming the job's done right. Honestly, we'd love to see JerryRigEverything run that hitch test again on the repaired Cybertruck. If the glue job really is stronger than stock, that truck should out-muscle its factory self.
