Oman Air Announces Additional Flights during Eid

In addition to its scheduled 170 flights linking Muscat and Salalah during the period around the Holy Eid holiday, and in view of the increased demand,  Oman Air has announced that it will operate 36 extra flights between 19th October and 2nd November, thus totaling 206 flights in that period.

The additional flights represent more than double those extra flights operated during last year’s Eid Al Adha holiday period. This will greatly facilitate the ease of movement between the two cities during this important occasion.
