With the recent signing of memorandums of understanding (MoU) with aviation authorities of India and Pakistan, Oman Air may announce an increase in the frequency of flights to both the countries in 2013.
The national carrier is likely to double its frequency on the Delhi and Chennai routes in India by introducing two flights a day from the current one while plans are afoot to increase the frequency of flights to both Islamabad and Lahore to daily. Currently, the airline flies four times a week to Lahore and three times to Islamabad.
The MoU signed last month between Omani and Indian aviation authorities paved the way for increasing the number of seats offered by airlines from India and Oman to 16,016 per week, up from the previous 11,550.
