Oman Air, the national carrier of Oman, has launched its inaugural flight WY295 from Salalah to Calicut (Kozhikode), on Monday.
A cake-cutting ceremony took place at Salalah International Airport, under the aegis of Sayyid Mohammed bin Sultan bin Hamoud Al-Busaidi, minister of state and governor of Dhofar.
The event was attended by Paul Gregorowitsch, Oman Air CEO, along with other high-ranking dignitaries.
Adding to the two flights currently operating between Muscat and Calicut, Oman Air is launching this new daily direct flight between Salalah and Calicut (CCJ), Kerala. The three and a half hour flight is operated by a Boeing 737-800.
Oman Air is growing its weekly capacity to India with frequencies increasing on five of the airline’s key Indian destinations. Bombay, Delhi and Hyderabad flights increase from twice daily to three times daily. Calicut flights increase from once daily to three times daily, and Lucknow flights increase from once daily to twice daily.
Gregorowitsch said: “Oman Air is committed to supporting the economic development of the Dhofar region, which is a key market for us. We are extremely happy to announce this new direct service between Salalah and Calicut. Our valued guests who want to travel between Salalah and Calicut can now enjoy shorter flights as they don’t have to transfer at Muscat airport. We are sure that this route will be received well by the discerning guests.”
More travelers will have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Dhofar, which has a cool and refreshing weather, in contrast to the hot, dry climate to be found elsewhere in the region. Visitors will also be able to make the most of the region’s renowned hospitality, ancient culture and awe-inspiring landscapes.
