Oman Air, the sultanate's national carrier, is set to suspend its flights to Lebanese capital Beirut from its hub in Muscat starting from March 26 onwards.

In a statement on Twitter, Oman Air said the measures were being taken due to 'commercial reasons.'

However, the airline did not clarify when normal operations would begin on this sector.

The airline called upon customers in need of further information or assistance to contact its call centre on 24531111 or report to its nearest office.
