Edelweiss Air launches flights from Muscat

 
Oman Airports received the first flight of Edelweiss Air on Tuesday.

The airline will operate two direct flights per week between #MuscatInternationalAirport and Zurich International Airport.

Last year, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) granted approval to Swiss airline, Edelweiss Air, to operate two weekly flights between Muscat and Zurich Airports.

Edelweiss Air is a Swiss leisure airline and the sister company of Swiss International Air Lines. It operates flights to European and intercontinental destinations from its base at Zurich Airport.

“As soon as the current situation allows, Edelweiss will offer a direct flight to Muscat in Oman as a special highlight. Oman is particularly popular with the Swiss because of its cultural diversity and its beautiful beaches. Furthermore, Muscat is the perfect starting point for a round trip in Oman, ” the airline said on its website.
