CEO SalamAir François Bouteiller said: “We are delighted to reach another significant milestone in the launch of our new airline. Travellers in Oman and Dubai can now book their flights with SalamAir and benefit from the choices we offer. We see ticket purchase as the beginning of our customers’ journey with us, a journey that although low on cost, meets the very highest international standards in safety, security and customer service.”
SalamAir has introduced three fare options: Light, the airline’s lowest fare designed for customers who only require hand baggage, Friendly, which includes 20kg of checked luggage plus 7kg of hand baggage, and Flexi, offering the same as Friendly, along with priority check-in and the possibility to change flights at no extra cost.
The airline has a fleet of three Airbus A320s and will be based in Muscat, with a secondary hub at Salalah airport, said an Oman Daily Observer report.
Scheduled services will begin with four daily flights to Salalah and two to Dubai's Al Maktourm International Airport at DWC, reports TradeArabia.
