Oman Air has set its sights on South Africa. The airline advertised in The Star on January 27 that it was looking for a “representative partner” in the local market.
“Ideally, your organisation will be well-established and able to demonstrate strong links to the aviation and tourism-related sectors,” the advert said.
Oman Air is the flagship carrier of the Sultanate of Oman. The airline currently operates direct international flights from Muscat to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Doha, Dubai, Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, Madina, Tehran and Kuwait in the Gulf region, as well as Cairo, Beirut and Amman within the wider Middle East region.
It also flies to 11 destinations in India: Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore in Pakistan; Kathmandu in Nepal, and Colombo in Sri Lanka, as well as the Maldives, Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Jakarta, Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam. Its European destinations are London, Milan, Munich, Frankfurt, Paris and Zurich.
