The changes represent a 60% increase in the number of flights from its hub in Muscat compared to the previous year
This will provide the market with approximately 60,000 more seats weekly across its network and provide greater convenience and connectivity for Oman Air passengers.
Building out regional connectivity
There’s a lot of growth here, with a focus on the Indian region, as well as beyond with Asia and Europe getting boosts across the network, showing that the airline is targeting markets where it can push forward.
For passengers connecting through Muscat, it should provide further options – especially as it prepares to join oneworld, offering further connectivity to passengers in that alliance.
