The agreement allows national carriers of the Sultanate (Oman Air and SalamAir) to extend their operational networks to the Czech Republic, attract Czech airlines to operate direct flights to the Sultanate, or exchange code-shares with other carriers.

other country.
The agreement contains 26 articles for the regulation of technical and operational matters, in addition to a special annex to the air routes between the two countries.
The Sultanate is currently linked with similar bilateral agreements in the field of regulating air transport services with more than 100 countries to regulate the operation of airlines between the Sultanate and those countries.
