Additionally, the airline has increased frequency of the existing flights between Muscat and Calicut from one a day to twice daily since February.

Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad now have three flights a day from Oman along with Calicut. The number of flights to Lucknow has been increased to two.

“Our valued guests who want to travel between Salalah and Calicut will now enjoy shorter flights as they don’t have to transfer at Muscat airport,” Paul Gregorowitsch, chief executive officer of Oman Air, said.
