SalamAir welcomes new Airbus A321neo to expand operations

Muscat: SalamAir, Oman's low-cost carrier, has announced the arrival of its newest aircraft, the Airbus A321neo named 'Muttrah', which was chosen through an Instagram vote by our passengers and followers. This new addition brings SalamAir's fleet to 14 aircraft and further strengthens the airline's commitment to efficient operations, enhanced passenger comfort, and environmental responsibility. Powered by advanced CFM LEAP-1A engines, the A321neo offers significant sustainability and performance benefits, including up to 20% reduction in fuel burn per seat and lower CO₂ emissions. The aircraft also meets the highest environmental standards, with NOx emissions cut by 50% and noise levels reduced by over 15 decibels compared to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulations. With a seating capacity of 212, the aircraft features a modern cabin design with USB charging ports at every seat, offering a more comfortable and connected travel experience. Its extended range of up to 4,000 nautical miles enhances SalamAir's operational flexibility and opens new opportunities for medium- and long-haul routes. Adrian Hamilton-Manns, Chief Executive Officer of SalamAir, commented: 'The addition of this new A321neo to our fleet marks a key milestone in boosting our operational capability ahead of the peak travel season. This aircraft will provide us with greater flexibility to uphold schedule reliability and further improve our on-time performance (OTP).' He added: 'With this addition and another aircraft expected later this month, the average age of our fleet will decrease from 5.6 years to approximately 4.8 years. Operating one of the youngest fleets in the region supports our focus on efficiency, reliability, and delivering greater value to our guests.' The addition of the A321neo also supports SalamAir's broader strategic plan, which includes fleet expansion, network diversification, and operational excellence. With a younger and more capable fleet, the airline is well-positioned to explore new markets, increase frequencies on high-demand routes, and further contribute to Oman's aviation and tourism sectors.

SalamAir reconnects Muscat, Beirut with direct flights

SalamAir, Oman's low-cost airline, has announced the return of Beirut, Lebanon, to its flight schedule, with direct flights operating twice a week starting December 3, 2025. This move comes as part of SalamAir's broader strategy to expand its regional network and enhance air connectivity across the Middle East and beyond. The reintroduction of Beirut marks a key milestone in the airline's continued growth and commitment to offering affordable, flexible and various travel options to its customers. Beirut is a cultural and historical gem offering stunning Mediterranean coastlines, world-class cuisine, and a rich blend of ancient and modern heritage. The city attracts tourists year-round, and its significance as a regional hub for business and leisure makes it a highly desirable destination for travelers from Oman and beyond. Adrian Hamilton-Manns, Chief Executive Officer of SalamAir, commented: "Bringing Beirut back to our network reflects our ongoing commitment to strengthening air connectivity and enhancing travel options for our guests. There is a significant Lebanese population in Oman, and currently, there are no direct flights between the two countries. Our new service aims to fill that gap, offering greater convenience and supporting increased tourism, trade, and business opportunities. This move also aligns with the broader objectives of Oman Vision 2040, particularly in advancing the tourism and logistics sectors and driving economic diversification. As always, we continue to expand with competitive Lite Fares and easy add-ons to ensure real value for our guests." Albert Samaha, Ambassador of Lebanon to Oman, welcomed the resumption, stating: 'These long-awaited flights serve as a vital link for the Lebanese community residing in Oman and facilitate easier access to their homeland. It also paves the way for enhanced tourism, cultural interaction, and bilateral cooperation between our two nations. We sincerely thank the Civil Aviation Authority of Oman and SalamAir for realising this shared vision.' -TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2024 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
