Oman Air raises weekly capacity to India
Feb 07, 2017: Oman Air is increasing its weekly frequencies from 126 to 161 flights per week between Oman and its 11 destinations in India.
The growth in capacity follows the recently signed agreement between the Governments of Oman and India, where both sides agreed to increase the weekly seats.
Effective February onwards, Bombay, Delhi, Calicut and Hyderabad will be operated with 21 weekly flights each, and Lucknow with 14 weekly flights. With this development, Oman Air is flying its wide bodied aircraft to select Indian destinations.
“India is a key destination for Oman Air and we are delighted to be offering thousands more guests the opportunity to travel between Oman and India (and beyond). The demand for all 11 of our Indian destinations has always been high and the increased frequencies offer yet more choice and convenience to our guests. Oman Air first launched flights to India in the 1990s and the demand for seats has grown exponentially amongst both business and leisure travellers, not only increasing tourism traffic and revenue but also promoting vital trade agreements between the two countries,” Paul Gregorowitsch, CEO, Oman Air.
The extended traffic entitlements will give a further boost to the tourism sector, prompting tourists to visit magnificent Oman as well as India’s beautiful touristic spots in more numbers. The bilateral trade and investment opportunities between the two countries will also be strengthened.
This growing commitment in India is part of Oman Air’s ambitious programme of fleet and network expansion. This has included the delivery of new aircraft and the introduction of a range of exciting new destinations and new products and services which contribute to a seamless passenger experience.
