MUSCAT, Feb. 1 -
Oman Air is growing its capacity to India whereby it will increase 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 Oman and India, where both sides agreed to increase the weekly seats.
February onwards, Mumbai, Delhi, Calicut and Hyderabad will be operated with 21 weekly flights each, and Lucknow with 14 weekly flights.
With this development, Oman Air will be flying its wide-bodied aircraft to select Indian destinations.
Paul Gregorowitsch, CEO, Oman Air, said: “India is a key destination 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.
The extended traffic entitlements will give a further boost to the tourism sector, prompting many discerning tourists to visit magnificent Oman as well as India’s beautiful touristic spots.
The bilateral trade and investment opportunities between the two countries are even further encouraged.
“I would like to thank the Public Authority of Civil Aviation (PACA) in Oman and the Indian government for being so receptive to our proposals as well as our trade partners, travel agencies and sales agents who have all been incredibly supportive and contributed to this growing demand. They have fully endorsed our award winning product and our unique onboard service and hospitality, which help to differentiate Oman Air from the competition.”
This growing commitment in India is part of Oman Air’s and dynamic 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.
