No new airline company in Oman: Oman Aviation Group

Muscat: No new airline company is going to be established in Oman, the Oman Aviation Group said on Tuesday.

In a statement, the group said: “Oman Aviation Group denies reports regarding establishment of a new airline company. The group is working on developing a promotional and investment programme called ‘Oman Link’, which aims to promote and connect regional airports in the Sultanate.”

This came after certain reports claimed that Oman is considering setting up a new regional airline that could take over domestic operations from the Sultanate's national carrier, Oman Air.
