Muscat – SalamAir has launched its first direct flight between Muscat and Sylhet, Bangladesh, becoming the first foreign airline to operate scheduled services to the city. Sylhet now serves as SalamAir’s third destination in Bangladesh, expanding the airline’s presence across the Indian Subcontinent.

The inaugural flight departed Muscat International Airport on September 1 with a load factor of approximately 70%, reflecting strong initial demand.

Before departure, SalamAir CEO Adrian Hamilton-Manns and representatives met with Mr. Mahmudur Rahman, Chargé d’Affaires of the Embassy of Bangladesh in Oman. Upon arrival at Osmani International Airport, an official ceremony welcomed the flight.

The new route provides affordable, convenient direct connections for the large expatriate community, eliminating the need for connecting journeys. This expansion aligns with Oman Vision 2040 to boost international connectivity and support aviation growth. Tickets are available via the airline’s website, app, call centre, and travel agencies.
