SalamAir, Oman’s Low-Cost Carrier, has announced the launch of a twice weekly service to Mogadishu Aden Adde International Airport (MGQ) from September 3, 2026, marking the first-ever non-stop link between Oman and the Somali capital.
The new route
expands SalamAir’s growing African network
and strengthens its strategic focus
of developing new markets using affordable and reliable air
travel.
Adrian Hamilton-Manns,
Chief Executive Officer of SalamAir, said: “Launching the
first direct service between Oman and Mogadishu is a strategic milestone
for SalamAir and is part of our strategy of developing news
markets. We continue to expand our network in East Africa
and expect to add more currently unserved destinations in
the near future. Somalia is the 3rd East African country
in our network, joining Kenya and Sudan. Somalia has seen
significant economic growth and development in recent years; our direct
flights will further stimulate the economy and help create new travel
and trade opportunities.” -TradeArabia News Service
