SalamAir is all set to launch non-stop flights between Salalah (SLL), the capital of southern Oman's Dhofar province, and Bahrain (BAH).
The scheduled flights will commence from July 5, just in time for autumn season, catering to the growing passenger demand for tourist destinations.
“We are proud to announce the launch of a new non-stop flight route between Salalah and Bahrain during the Khareef season in response to His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik's direction to the concerned authorities to provide direct subsidies on fuel prices at Salalah Airport, equivalent to fuel prices at Muscat International Airport,” said SalamAir's CEO, Captain Mohamed Ahmed. “The introduction of non-stop flights between Salalah and Bahrain supports the growing inbound tourism sector and contributes to the realization of Oman's ambitious Vision 2040.”
SalamAir currently operates six A320neo and four A321neo passenger aircraft configured with 180 seats and 212 seats respectively. The airline also operates an A321-200P2F freighter.
