Oman Air will launch its Winter 2026/27 schedule on October 25, increasing flight frequencies and capacity across key markets in the Gulf, Europe, Russia and Asia, while expanding its codeshare network to offer passengers greater connectivity.
Europe will see
significant growth, with capacity to Zurich tripling compared with the summer
season through the deployment of widebody aircraft on up to five weekly
services.
Flights to Paris,
Frankfurt, Munich, Milan and Istanbul will also increase to as many as five per
week.
Services to Moscow
will double from four to up to eight weekly flights.
The expanded schedule
builds on the airline’s 11-city European network, providing travellers with
more options for winter trips and improving access to Oman for international
visitors.
The winter season will
also mark the first full winter schedules for several destinations introduced
earlier this year. Singapore will receive four weekly flights, while Tashkent
will maintain twice-weekly services and Sochi will operate once weekly.
To accommodate demand
on popular routes, Oman Air will introduce weekly widebody services to Mumbai
and Dhaka, offering additional capacity and the enhanced comfort of its Boeing
787 fleet.
Domestic connectivity
will also be strengthened. Flights between Muscat and Khasab will increase to
up to four weekly services, while the Muscat-Salalah route will operate up to
five times daily throughout the season.
Oman Air is also
expanding its codeshare partnerships to improve connections beyond its own
network.
Agreements with
Lufthansa and SWISS will provide access to destinations including Edinburgh,
Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk, Bergen, Billund, Gothenburg and Oslo through their
respective hubs in Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich.
Meanwhile, an
expansion of the airline’s existing codeshare partnership with Malaysia
Airlines will add Shanghai, Beijing Daxing and Guangzhou to its network,
broadening access to Greater China.
Members of both
airlines’ loyalty programmes will also benefit from oneworld recognition,
including tier privileges and service benefits throughout their journeys.
The expanded winter programme reflects Oman Air’s continued focus on strengthening international connectivity, increasing capacity on high-demand routes and supporting inbound tourism to Oman. -TradeArabia News Service
