Oman Air targets Africa for network expansion

Oman Air, the national carrier of Oman, is reviewing its route network with a view to further expand its destinations in Africa.
The airline already flies to Cairo in Egypt, Nairobi in Kenya, Zanzibar, Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania and recently on July 1 launched its four-time weekly service to Casablanca in Morocco.
The network and planning team is working to assess the viability of other new routes and Khartoum in Sudan is being investigated as a potential addition. With an established Sudanese diaspora in Oman, Khartoum is a strong favorite to be among the new additions to Oman Air’s African network in 2019.
The African routes are already very popular with Oman Air guests and the airline has recently increased its summer schedule to Egypt from 10 flights a week to 12 on popular demand.
