SalamAir, Oman’s Low-Cost Carrier, has opened ticket sales for its new non-stop service between Muscat and Vienna, establishing the first direct scheduled air connection between Oman and Austria.
Scheduled
to commence on June 24, 2026, the route represents a milestone
in SalamAir’s international expansion and provides travellers
with a direct flight between Oman and Central Europe.
The service
will operate three times a
week using SalamAir’s Airbus A321 fleet, delivering a
modern and efficient travel experience.
Steven Allen, Chief
Commercial Officer of SalamAir, said: “The addition of Vienna reflects our
focused approach to network growth in Europe. Austria is
a growing market for both inbound and outbound travel, and this
non-stop service allows us to meet demand with a competitive, cost-efficient
offering. With fares starting from as low OMR 69, the route
opens a new travel corridor which is also supported by
seamless onward connectivity via our home
in Muscat to our network.”
Julian Jäger, Joint
CEO and COO of Vienna Airport, said: “Direct flights to Muscat are a major
milestone for our route network, for Austria as a tourism destination and for
Vienna Airport’s international positioning. Oman is one of the most exciting
destinations in the Middle East, offering a unique blend of
culture, nature and future growth potential. With SalamAir, we are
opening up this market for the first time with a non-stop connection from
Vienna. This not only strengthens our international offering but also
underlines Vienna’s attractiveness as a gateway to new and emerging
markets.” -TradeArabia News Service
