The new route, beginning 8 October, will complement SalamAir’s current flight to Al Maktoum International Airport in the Jebel Ali (DWC), 37km from Dubai, until October 28 when the airline has set plans re-route all flights to DXB. SalamAir will be operating daily morning and evening services to and from Terminal 2 with the first flight departing DXB at 10:50am and returning at 5:30pm.
Captain Mohamed Ahmed, CEO of SalamAir, said “The number of passengers travelling between Muscat and Dubai has been growing exponentially over the past several years. In addition to being the gateway to one of the world’s leading business and leisure destinations, Dubai International Airport is one of the most prominent hubs in the region, connecting people to an even wider network of destinations around the world.
"Our decision to introduce these direct flights between DXB and Muscat International Airport is a result of the increasing demand from our guests and we are confident that, backed by our easy fare options and convenient travel times, we will further help increase the connectivity between Oman and the UAE.”
The budget airline has been working closely with the Ministry of Tourism in Oman to help create memorable experiences for guests traveling to the Sultanate. A representative from the Omani Ministry of Tourism commented, “To many world travellers, Oman remains an untouched gem, offering a wide spectrum of activities ranging from family holidays, romantic getaways, unique adventures to ecotravel opportunities and cultural journeys. We are excited to be joining hands with SalamAir who will provide an alternative budget travel options to people in the UAE to visit Oman and enjoy what our country has to offer.”
