Oman Air operated two regularly scheduled passenger flights with fully vaccinated crews to two separate domestic destinations in the Sultanate on July 12.
Oman Air Flight 931, a Boeing 737-800, departed Muscat at 07:30 on July 12 for Khasab, a popular port city on the Musandam Peninsula.
The flight was piloted by Captain Suhib Mohamed al Barwani and First Officer Waleed al Jadeedi, comprising a cabin crew of 4.
Oman Air Flight 907, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, departed Muscat at 2:55 pm the same day for Salalah in Oman’s southern Dhofar province, a destination popular with tourists for its spectacular beaches and lush, green landscape during monsoon season (Khareef).
The flight was piloted by Captain Sayyid Haitham Thabit al Busaidi and First Officer H.H. Sayyid Tariq Numer al Said, comprising a cabin crew of eight.
Captain Nasser al Salmi, Chief Operating Officer at Oman Air, said, “Oman Air has an exceptional track record when it comes to operational health and safety measures. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have consistently prioritized our frontline workers and valued guests to ensure that every journey with Oman Air is undertaken with the full reassurance that exceptional pre-flight and on-board safety measures are in place. Vaccinated crews are an integral part of this safety-first mindset and especially significant at a time when our flight frequencies continue to increase and as we resume key routes to destinations around the world.”
Oman Air adheres to all traveller restrictions established by the country’s Civil Aviation Authority with regard to COVID-19 and guests are invited to visit caa.gov.om to ensure they are prepared to comply with requirements to enter and travel within the Sultanate.
