SalamAir launches first direct flights from Muscat to Vienna

SalamAir, Oman’s Low-Cost Carrier, has opened ticket sales for its new non-stop service between Muscat and Vienna, establishing the first direct scheduled air connection between Oman and Austria.

Scheduled to commence on June 24, 2026, the route represents a milestone in SalamAir’s international expansion and provides travellers with a direct flight between Oman and Central Europe.   

The service will operate three times a week using SalamAir’s Airbus A321 fleet, delivering a modern and efficient travel experience.   

Steven Allen, Chief Commercial Officer of SalamAir, said: “The addition of Vienna reflects our focused approach to network growth in Europe. Austria is a growing market for both inbound and outbound travel, and this non-stop service allows us to meet demand with a competitive, cost-efficient offering. With fares starting from as low OMR 69, the route opens a new travel corridor which is also supported by seamless onward connectivity via our home in Muscat to our network.” 

Julian Jäger, Joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport, said: “Direct flights to Muscat are a major milestone for our route network, for Austria as a tourism destination and for Vienna Airport’s international positioning. Oman is one of the most exciting destinations in the Middle East, offering a unique blend of culture, nature and future growth potential. With SalamAir, we are opening up this market for the first time with a non-stop connection from Vienna. This not only strengthens our international offering but also underlines Vienna’s attractiveness as a gateway to new and emerging markets.” -TradeArabia News Service
