SalamAir, Oman’s Low-Fare airline, has launched two weekly flights from Muscat to Nairobi, Kenya – its newest destination in Africa – starting February 2025, connecting travellers to other vibrant destinations with low fares.
The new operation aims to offer passengers a convenient and affordable way to explore Nairobi’s vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, wildlife, and thriving economy, and foster increased tourism and trade between the Middle East and East Africa.
The airline said its new service will expand its presence in Africa, and strengthen Oman’s ambition to foster increased tourism and trade between the Middle East and East Africa.
SalamAir’s CEO, Adrian Hamilton-Manns, said: “We are really thrilled to add Nairobi to our expanding network, marking a significant milestone in our expansion into the African market.
“Nairobi is not only a hub for international travellers but also a growing centre for business, technology, and education, making it a vital link for those looking to connect with opportunities in both regions, emphasising Nairobi’s position as the key gateway to East Africa.
“With Nairobi added to our network, we can now connect passengers from East Africa to India, Thailand, Central Asia, and other points on our network for very low fares.”
SalamAir’s introduction of Nairobi to its expanding network is part of its strategic growth plan of offering cheaper travel options to passengers accustomed to high-fare legacy airline prices.
It said it is dedicated to a low-cost model and remains committed to offering affordable fares. – TradeArabia News Service
