Chief Executive Officer of Oman Air, Paul Gregorowitsch, commented:

Our valued guests who want to travel between Salalah and Calicut will 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 region with a cool and refreshing weather, which contrasts sharply with the hot, dry climate to be found elsewhere in the region.
