SalamAir has appointed Mitravi powered by Blueberry Group as its official General Sales Agent (GSA) in Rwanda, strengthening its presence in Africa ahead of the launch of direct flights between Muscat and Kigali on July 21, 2026.
Under the agreement, Mitravi will oversee sales, marketing,
trade relations and customer support activities in Rwanda, helping to promote
SalamAir’s services and expand its market reach.
The partnership was formalized by SalamAir’s International
Regional Sales Manager, Waheed Al Balushi, and Mitravi’s Regional General Sales
Agent Manager, Jitesh Sobhani.
The appointment comes as SalamAir prepares to launch
twice-weekly services connecting Muscat and Kigali, further expanding its
international network.
The new route will provide travelers with affordable access
between Rwanda, Oman and destinations across the GCC, the Indian subcontinent
and Southeast Asia.
SalamAir said the service is expected to boost tourism,
business travel, trade and cultural exchange between the two countries while
improving connectivity and creating new opportunities for travelers and
businesses in both markets.
Steve Allen, Chief Commercial Officer of SalamAir,
said: "We are delighted to partner with Mitravi powered by

marks an important step in SalamAir’s expansion across
Africa and demonstrates our commitment to providing greater connectivity,
affordable travel options, and stronger links between Rwanda, Oman, and our
wider network."

significant potential for tourism, business, and trade. Through this
partnership, we look forward to working closely with the local travel trade and
stakeholders to create new travel opportunities and further strengthen the
relationship between our two countries." -TTN
