Muscat – Oman Air has recorded a remarkable threefold increase in passengers on its direct routes, with figures climbing from 75,000 in June 2024 to 200,000 in June 2025.

Of the total passengers carried, 58% were inbound travelers arriving directly in the Sultanate of Oman—highlighting the growing appeal of the country as a travel destination.

Mike Rutter, Chief Commercial Officer at Oman Air, attributed the milestone to the airline’s strategic focus on route optimization and targeted marketing initiatives. He noted that this approach not only improves financial performance but also supports the sustainable expansion of the airline’s network.

Rutter affirmed that Oman Air remains committed to simplifying and enriching the travel experience for visitors, reinforcing its role as a key enabler of the Sultanate’s tourism growth.

As part of its expansion strategy, Oman Air is investing in both fleet modernization and route development. Recent developments include the launch of direct flights to Amsterdam, opening new access to the European market, and the resumption of twice-daily flights to London starting October.
