Oman Air is to launch a new service between Muscat and the Iranian city of Mashhad from June 1.
This is Oman Air’s second destination in Iran, following the launch of flights to Tehran in 2012. The carrier will operate daily flights aboard Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
Announcing the launch of the new service, Oman Air’s CEO Paul Gregorowitsch, said: “Oman Air is delighted to be launching a new service between Muscat and Mashhad from 1st June. The launch is in response to significant customer demand and we anticipate a high level of early bookings. The service will strengthen the well-established bilateral trade links between Oman and Iran and deliver further opportunities for the two nations.”
Commenting on the new service, Oman Air’s Deputy CEO & EVP Commercial Abdulrahman Al-Busaidy said: “Oman Air’s new service to Mashhad will offer travelers from throughout our international network the opportunity to discover an exciting and vibrant new destination. Furthermore, our guests from Iran to Muscat and onward destinations will now have even greater choice and convenience, whilst enjoying Oman Air’s unique hospitality and award-winning inflight services. The new service is sure to prove an overwhelming success."
Mashhad is Iran’s second most populous city, with around 2.8 million inhabitants. It is also a major center for cultural, religious and business affairs. Located in the north East of Iran, Mashhad’s economy is based on trade in fruit, nuts and spices, gems and jewelry, perfume and textiles. It is also Iran’s second largest manufacturing center for the automobile industry.
The launch of flights from Muscat to Mashhad continues Oman Air’s ambitious fleet and network expansion program, which was launched in late 2014. This will see the airline increase the size of its fleet to 70 aircraft — 25 wide-body and 45 narrow-body jets — by 2020.
