Omani homegrown airline SalamAir has launched a thrice-weekly service between Abu Dhabi and Salalah, allowing travellers from the UAE to conveniently visit the popular holiday destination.

Speaking of the seasonal arrangement, chief commercial officer of Abu Dhabi Airports, Maarten De Groof, commented: “Salalah is an ever-popular destination for those in the UAE seeking a cooler and nature driven destination during the summer months. With SalamAir, travellers looking to visit the Omani destination will be able to take advantage of three weekly cost-effective flights.”

Our new Abu Dhabi to Salalah flights will be a boon to UAE residents looking for the perfect staycation this summer, especially as Khareef season is now upon us."
