Both commemorative flights will take-off from Muscat International Airport to Salalah on the 30^th of January 2021.

The airline boasts a steady rise in passenger numbers to a staggering 4 million an increase driven by its growing network of destinations. Expanding its global presence with touching over 84 airports, in 35 countries and 214 flown sectors and a total of 28,936 flights speaks to its continued expansion goals. Technologically SalamAir has been engaged in improving their web services with the bespoke, state-of-the-art booking engine, travel agent portal to enhancing the overall user experience for their travelers. Furthermore, the airline also has updated an array of ancillary services such as new fare class ‘benefit fare’, a comprehensive insurance product that is extended across the network, seat selection with an extra seat booking option, and an updated in-flight food & beverage menu.

Captain Mohamed Ahmed, CEO of SalamAir said, "While 2020 was a challenging period in aviation history, our team worked hard in assisting and facilitated travel for passengers during these difficult times and their efforts were highly appreciated by all communities and we will continue to be part of their travels in the new normal future and keep making every effort in our expansion plans. As we look back at our many achievements in the last 4 years, I’m confident that it is the same hard work, support & resilience of our team is that we will continue to celebrate. I am optimistic that with the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine air travel will resume and normalize in the coming years and we will have many more victories to celebrate.”
