Oman Carrier Expands Direct International Connectivity
SalamAir, Oman’s low-cost carrier, is establishing its first airline base in Salalah, marking a significant step in the airline’s expansion. The new base will initially operate direct flights to three international destinations, with services scheduled to start at the end of October. This move follows the airline’s increased support for travel to and from Salalah during the 2026 Khareef season, and will provide year-round connectivity for residents and expatriate communities in Dhofar. The airline will operate the Salalah-based services with its Airbus A320neo and A321neo fleet, as reported by AviTrader Aviation News.
