SalamAir Expands with New Routes to Mumbai and Bengaluru, Boosting its Network by 7 Destinations and Achieving 24% Operational Growth in July

SalamAir, the low-cost carrier of Oman, is excited to announce the addition of two new destinations in India—Bengaluru (Bangalore) and Mumbai. These new routes bring SalamAir’s total number of Indian destinations to eight and address the growing demand for travel between India, Oman, and the GCC region.

Starting September 2nd, flights to Mumbai will operate four times a week, and from September 6th, flights to Bengaluru will run twice a week. Introductory one-way fares start at OMR 19 for Mumbai and OMR 33 for Bengaluru on the “Light Fare,” including a 7kg hand luggage allowance. Passengers can customize their travel experience with meals, extra baggage, and travel insurance.

This expansion is part of SalamAir’s strategy to offer low fares consistently and provide travelers with more choices. Our “Light Fare” allows customers to stretch their travel budget by paying only for the needed services, ensuring significant savings while discovering new destinations.

Adrian Hamilton-Manns, CEO of SalamAir, stated, "The Indian subcontinent is a key region for us, and we are committed to strengthening our connections and providing affordable travel options. We are proud of our expansion to Mumbai and Bengaluru, alongside the recently launched routes to Delhi, Chennai, Islamabad, and Lahore. This growth aligns with Oman Vision 2040 and supports our strategic goals. Additionally, in support of the Khareef season, we have enhanced connectivity to Sohar, Fujairah, Baghdad, and Bahrain, resulting in a 9% increase in capacity to Salalah compared to the same period in 2023."

With these additions, SalamAir now serves eight destinations in India, including Delhi, Calicut, Chennai, Lucknow, Jaipur, and Hyderabad. In July, the airline achieved a 24% increase in operational capacity compared to June. The expansion plan has led to a 14% increase in operations in India and a 29% increase in Pakistan compared to previous periods. SalamAir also introduced new seasonal destinations connecting Sohar, Fujairah, Baghdad, and Bahrain to Salalah and operates direct flights to Baku, Almaty, Tirana, and Trabzon.
