Oman Air has launched its new Muscat-Jaaluni charter service. The sector will shorten distances, save time, effort and money, as well as accelerate the pace of development of both Duqm and Al Wusta Governorate alike.
Oman Air will operate 3 flights weekly between Muscat and Jaaluni. The Royal directives to link infrastructure and social development are evidently carried out through such steps.
Yahya bin Said Al-Jabri, chairman of the board of the Special Economic Zone Authority in Duqm, was the chief guest at the inauguration.
Al-Jabri said: “The launch of this direct air route between Muscat International Airport and Jaaluni is the result of the continuous cooperation and coordination between the Special Economic Zone Authority of Duqm, Oman Air and various state agencies working for the development of Duqm. Certainly, this air route will link Al Wusta Governorate with the rest of the Sultanate, and will furthermore assist citizens, businessmen and investors to save up to five hours of travel time, as currently the only route to reach Jaaluni from Muscat is by road and takes about 6 hours, while the flight between Muscat and Jaaluni takes approximately one and a half hours.”
Oman Air’s CEO Wayne Pearce, said: “The new charter service between Muscat and Jaaluni will provide an important boost for the economic development of the city, which is currently undergoing a major transformation. The new service also underlines Oman Air’s commitment to supporting economic growth and increased prosperity throughout the Sultanate. This is also a vital step in the expansion of Oman Air’s domestic routes, enabled by the creation of new airports.”
