To meet the demand due to the increasing volume of passengers flying to Salalah, Oman Air has added extra flights between Salalah-Muscat-Salalah.

The airline operated up to nine to 11 daily flights in this sector, since June 1st till August 19th, and up to 11 to 13 daily flights from August 20th till September 15th.

The Salalah Tourism Festival opened on August 10th and will run until September 6th.
