Omani low-cost airline Salam Air will introduce nonstop flights between Muscat and Damascus, Syria.
The Muscat-based carrier will operate service to Syria’s capital twice a week, from May 2, 2026. Flights will operate on Wednesdays and Sundays.
The service is intended to serve the Syrian community living in Oman while also extending Salam Air’s reach in the region.
“Choosing Damascus to be our next route, and to be the first Omani airline to operate to Syria, reflects our strategic and commercially driven approach to network expansion,” the airline’s chief commercial officer, Steven Allen, said in a statement. “This service has been carefully designed to meet clear travel needs between Oman and Syria.”
Expansion Plans
Salam Air currently has 15 Airbus A320/A321 aircraft in its fleet. It intends to expand its fleet to 25 aircraft by 2028.
Salam Air operates up to 80 flights per day, to 38 destinations. The carrier plans to grow its route network in 2026, with new destinations including Port Sudan, Medan, and Vienna on the horizon. The airline is expected to introduce these services in 2026.
