Oman Air adds widebody capacity on Dhaka route in winter

Dhaka: Oman Air will deploy Boeing 787 widebody aircraft on its Dhaka route once a week as part of its Winter 2026/27 schedule, increasing passenger capacity between Bangladesh and Oman.

The Muscat-based airline currently operates daily flights between Dhaka and Muscat. The additional widebody service will provide more seats and access to the airline’s long-haul cabin experience.

The winter schedule begins October 25, with frequency and capacity increases across the carrier’s network in the Gulf Cooperation Council region, Europe, Russia and the Far East.

Zurich will see capacity triple from summer levels, with widebody aircraft operating up to five weekly services. Flights to Paris, Frankfurt, Munich, Milan and Istanbul will also rise to as many as five per week. Services to Moscow will double from four to eight weekly flights.

Oman Air will also operate four weekly flights to Singapore, twice-weekly services to Tashkent and a weekly flight to Sochi. Domestic connectivity will expand, with Muscat–Khasab flights increasing to four weekly and Muscat–Salalah services reaching five daily.

Expanded codeshare agreements with Lufthansa, SWISS and Malaysia Airlines will add connections to European cities and destinations in China, including Shanghai, Beijing Daxing and Guangzhou.
