OMAN Air will commence services to Goa and Singapore on March 29 and to Dhaka from August this year, on the back of successful operations to Manila and Jakarta introduced last December.
Paul Gregorowitsch, chief executive, Oman Air, said: “There is strong demand for flights to each of these destinations. We are therefore very confident that the new services will prove extremely popular.”
The national carrier of Oman will operate daily flights to Singapore using A330 aircraft at an introductory round-trip fare from OMR234 (US$605) inclusive of all taxes and charges, and to Goa four-times weekly using Boeing 737s at a round-trip fare of OMR161.
The four-weekly flights to Dhaka via A330 aircraft can be booked now from OMR187 round-trip, including taxes and charges.
Rajendra Churwiala, director – eastern India, IATA Agents Association of India, commented: “While outbound to the Middle East has increased manifold, the introduction of new flights to destinations like Muscat will open up inbound numbers as there is significant growth – 18 per cent year-on-year in 2014 – in visitors from the Middle East to India.”
