Gulf Air is to almost double flights from Heathrow to Muscat in Oman.
The existing daily service is to rise to double daily every day except Thursdays from March 27.
The new flights depart at 11.00 and arrive at 21.40, supplementing an evening service from the London airport.
The airline’s UK general manager Clive Wratten said: “Oman is booming. We have seen a strong increase in traffic since we launched this route in 2004.”
