Oman Air will commence its first service in Europe from today when it launches nonstop flights between Muscat and Gatwick Airport. Gatwick is the airline's 24th destination, with plans to launch a 25th destination by the end of 2007.
Oman Air CEO Ziad bin Karim Al Haremi said the new destination, part of an ambitious route expansion plan with a special focus on long haul routes, would result in a substantial increase in commercial ties and tourist flow between Oman and Britain.
The airline also operates direct flights to destinations to the Indian subcontinent including Mumbai, New Delhi, Kochi, Hyderabad, Thiruvanthapuram, Chennai, Lucknow, Jaipur, Karachi and Chittagong, plus domestic flights linking Muscat with Khasab and Salalah. |
