Oman Air announces plans to expand flight network to more cities

Muscat: Oman Air is considering flying to Sudan among other countries, as the airline looks at expanding its destinations in Africa.

The national carrier already flies to Cairo, Nairobi, Zanzibar, Dar Es Salaam and on July 1st launched its four times weekly service to Casablanca in Morocco.

The Network and Planning team is assessing the viability of other new routes and Khartoum in Sudan is being investigated thoroughly as a potential addition.

The African routes are already very popular with Oman Air guests and the airline has recently increased its summer schedule to Egypt from 10 flights a week to 12 due to demand.

Last year Oman Air launched its four times a week service to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. The five times weekly service Zanzibar has been a longstanding favourite with holidaymakers.

Oman Air also flies five times a week to Dar Es Salaam, the largest city and economic capital of Tanzania, and East Africa’s second busiest port.
