Muscat: Oman Air is developing a low-cost travel model aimed at offering more affordable fares to a wider segment of passengers, alongside efforts to strengthen domestic and regional connectivity, according to Said Al Maawali, Minister of Transport, Communications and Information Technology.
Speaking on the sidelines of recent developments in the aviation sector, the minister said the national carrier is exploring new routes and services as part of this strategy, including potential flights to Al Jabal Al Akhdar and Masirah Island, as well as possible connections from Salalah to Abha and other nearby destinations.
