SalamAir takes delivery of 15th aircraft
Oman LCC SalamAir has taken delivery of its 15th aircraft, a new Airbus A321neo.
The jet has been christened “Barr Al Hikman” after the coastal area in the Sultanate of Oman, often referred to as the Maldives of the Middle East.
Mohamed Bin Abdullah Al Khonji, Chairman of SalamAir, said: “We are delighted to welcome our 15th aircraft to our expanding fleet. This newest addition marks the start of our strategic plan to reach 25 aircraft by 2028.”
“Part of SalamAir’s strategy since 2024 has been to focus on unserved routes”, he added.
The airline hopes to make good on its long-term plan to establish a base for two to three aircraft in Salalah.
“A Salalah base supports balanced regional development, bringing more visitors to Dhofar and stimulating year-round tourism and employment,” the Chairman added.
Adrian Hamilton-Manns, Chief Executive Officer of SalamAir, added: “This new aircraft will enable SalamAir to expand its network by increasing frequencies to Nairobi; new services to Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia; strengthening our presence in Saudi Arabia via Abha; resuming Beirut flights and launching service to Medan, Indonesia.”
