Muscat: The Sultanate’s national carrier, Oman Air, will increase the frequency of its flights to some Indian destinations following enhanced bilateral seat entitlements, a senior official of the airlines said on Sunday.
According to the revised agreement between India and Oman, carriers from both countries can fly 5,131 additional seats per week between the two countries, taking the total capacity entitlement to 21,149 seats per week.
The move will enable Oman Air to launch additional flights to India. On the other hand, Indian carriers such as Air India, Air India Express, Jet Airways, Indigo and Spice Jet can also utilise these rights from different Indian airports to the Muscat International Airport, Salalah Airport and Sohar Airport.
Speaking to the Times of Oman, the official of Oman Air also, however, said additional seats does not mean additional destinations.
“Obtaining rights for additional new destinations in India is a completely different set of processes, involving negotiations between the two governments (and their civil aviation authorities),” he said.
