SalamAir, Oman’s low-cost carrier, commenced operations to Mogadishu, Somalia, today (September 3), introducing a new direct air link between the capitals of Oman and Somalia.
As Somalia’s capital and main commercial centre, Mogadishu’s
addition to SalamAir’s network is expected to support business activity, family
travel and increased business-to-business engagement, while creating a new
travel corridor between Oman and East Africa.
Steven Allen, Chief Commercial Officer of SalamAir, said:
“The launch of our direct service to Mogadishu represents a strategic
expansion of SalamAir’s African network and strengthens our presence
in East Africa. This new route is in response to growing
demand for affordable connectivity and to support business
and trade between Oman and Somalia. This connectivity provides
passengers with convenient onward access through Muscat to destinations across
our network and it also contributes to Oman Vision 2040 by strengthening
the Sultanate’s international connectivity
and contributing to economic diversification.” -TradeArabia News Service
