Adding to the service currently operating between Muscat and Calicut (Kozhikode), Oman Air has announced the launch of its new daily direct flight between Salalah and Calicut, Kerala.

Flights will start on March 27th in the latest move in the airline’s ambitious and dynamic programme of fleet and network expansion.

The three and a half hour flight will depart Salalah at 01:10 and arrive in Calicut at 06:20.

The return flight will leave Calicut at 07:00 and arrive in Salalah at 09:15.

The daily service will be operated by a Boeing 737-800.

In addition the existing frequencies between Muscat and Calicut have been increased from one daily to twice daily since February this year. 

Oman Air is growing its weekly capacity to India with frequencies increasing on five of the airline’s key Indian destinations.
Bombay, Delhi and Hyderabad increase from twice daily to three times daily.

“We are extremely happy to announce this new direct service between Salalah and Calicut.

“Our valued guests who want to travel between Salalah and Calicut will now enjoy shorter flights as they don’t have to transfer at Muscat airport. 

“We are sure that this route will be received well by the discerning guests.”
