Muscat – To establish direct air connectivity with one of the world’s popular destinations, Oman’s value-for-money airline SalamAir has announced the introduction of a direct flight between Muscat and Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, with two flights per week beginning on July 3.

Flights from Muscat to Kuala Lumpur are scheduled for Monday and Friday. The route serves both sides’ high demand for leisure and business tourism, according to a press release.

Kuala Lumpur, SalamAir’s first destination in Malaysia, marks the airline’s further expansion into Southeast Asia. ‘For people living in Oman and those wanting to take connecting flights, it’s a convenient non-stop flight to Southeast Asian country for leisure, shopping, or business purposes.’

Captain Mohamed Ahmed, CEO of SalamAir, said, “The new service marks another milestone in our network expansion strategy. We are delighted to launch flights between Muscat and Kuala Lumpur, providing our customers with a perfect value-for-money product that allows them to be flexible, save on airfare with our competitive pricing, and add services they prefer.”

He further added that the flights will boost tourism, economic relations, business opportunities, and student movement between Oman and Malaysia and serve the overall Oman Vision 2040 of supporting the inbound tourism sector as one of the main contributors to the national GDP of the sultanate. “We are committed to connecting more destinations along new sectors to establish a strong pan-international presence.”

The journey between Muscat and Kuala Lumpur will take about seven hours.
