Inspired by the soul of Oman and its people, SalamAir is the first low-cost carrier based in Oman. The airline was a variety of exciting destinations worldwide. The airline has set in motion a world of benefits for the Sultanate in terms of economic growth, job creation, presenting Oman as a vibrant tourist destination, and supporting the transformation envisaged in Oman’s Vision 2040. We have become the first operator in the sultanate to introduce the Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft. Our current fleet consists of six A320neo, four A321neo, and an A321F cargo aircraft which aid our network expansion plans in supporting the airline to increase connectivity across the region’s popular and short to medium-haul routes.
