SalamAir launches new flight to this South Asian city

Muscat: Salam Air, Oman's first budget airline, has begun non-stop flights to Dhaka in Bangladesh, the airline announced on Sunday.
The new service is the airline’s fourth destination in the subcontinent, which includes Karachi, Multan and Sialkot, all of which are in Pakistan.
To increase interest in flights to Dhaka, Salam Air has introduced promotional prices on return fares to the Bangladeshi capital.
Captain Mohamed Ahmed, CEO of Salam Air, said, "We are responding to strong demand facilitated by the large volume of Bangladeshi travellers to Oman and other GCC countries. We will continue expanding our network and connect Oman with direct flights to key new destinations, offering our guests exciting travel possibilities with competitive market rates."
Given that there are about 700,000 Bangladeshi workers currently in Oman, making their community the largest among expats in the Sultanate, Salam Air will operate four weekly flights to Dhaka, on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
Salam Air’s current network contains 13 destinations, including Muscat, Salalah, Sohar, Dubai, Doha, Jeddah, Karachi, Multan, Sialkot, Shiraz as well as three newly introduced routes – Tbilisi, Baku and Dhaka. SalamAir also recently signed during the Farnborough International Airshow for six additional Airbus A320neo aircraft. All routes offer a choice of fare options.
