-

Qatar Airways announced the resumption of two weekly flights from Muscat, Oman, and another two weekly flights in codeshare with Oman Air.

The first service touched down at Muscat Internatio­nal Airport on October 1.

Qatar Airways continues to lead the recovery of internatio­nal air travel, offering more global connectivi­ty than any other airline. With the airline’s network never falling below 30 destinatio­ns throughout the pandemic, the resumption of services to Oman will see the airline’s global network more than triple in size by mid-October. Flying to over 90 destinatio­ns worldwide with more than 680 weekly flights,

Qatar Airways now operate two flights per week to and from Muscat Internatio­nal Airport, providing seamless connection from Oman to the US, Europe, Africa, and Levant regions.

Qatar Airways’ acting vice president for Middle East, Levant and Caucasus region, Bennet Stephens, said, “We are excited to resume scheduled services to Muscat, setting a new milestone in the gradual rebuilding of our regional network. During the COVID-19 crisis, Qatar Airways has been committed to bringing people home and reuniting family and friends with their loved ones. Passengers travelling from Muscat can now enjoy enhanced connectivi­ty to many key global

destinatio­ns across our expanding network including London, New York, Houston and Montreal via our award-winning hub, Hamad Internatio­nal Airport.”

The national carrier of Qatar

has been flying to Oman since 2000, when it first began direct services to the Omani capital, Muscat.

A codeshare agreement between Qatar Airways and Oman Air allows passengers from

Oman to benefit from more options and enhanced connectivi­ty to the most popular destinatio­ns in Europe and United States of America via Hamad Internatio­nal Airport.
