Oman’s first budget airline – SalamAir – has started offering tickets to Salalah at OMR 11 and Dubai at OMR 16.6.
Their website shows that their first flight to Salalah is on January 30, 2017 where the flight departs from Muscat at 4.45pm and reaches Salalah at 6.30pm.
It is offering three types of fares – light fares from OMR 13, friendly from OMR 17 and flexi from OMR 25 to Salalah. “We are ecstatic that we can finally announce that 29 December 2016 will be our official launch date for our tickets going live for purchase,” they tweeted.
Dubai flights can be booked from February 15 at OMR 16.6.
SalamAir plans to connect Muscat with Salalah and Dubai, initially.
Then it is looking at launching flights to East Africa and the Indian subcontinent also.
Awarded its air service operator licence by the Public Authority for Civil Aviation (PACA) in early 2016, SalamAir’s fleet of three Airbus A320s is scheduled to take to the skies soon.
The brainchild of ASAAS—a national investment and development company—SalamAir was formed to meet Oman’s rapidly growing demand for air traffic, which is expected to grow by 40 per cent by 2019.
