Muscat: Oman’s national carrier Oman Air, has expanded its flight services to Moscow, increasing the frequency of flights as part of its summer schedule.

To ensure maximum comfort and convenience for its passengers, the airline will begin operating daily flights from October 29, using its renowned Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft.

This will increase to five flights on December 1 and expand to six from December 25 through March 29, 2025, as reported by the news agency.

Outbound flights will depart from Muscat at 15:25 and arrive in Moscow at 21:00, while return flights will depart from Moscow at 22:20 and arrive in Muscat at 05:40

According to Oman Air, this expansion is part of a broader effort to improve its winter schedule, catering to guests' travel preferences and providing greater choice and convenience for both business and leisure travellers.

Bookings can be made via Oman Air’s website, mobile app, or through preferred travel agents.

“We are excited to offer greater flexibility and connectivity with increased flights to Moscow, a key destination on our winter schedule.

“The route will now be served by our B737 aircraft, an adjustment which both allows us to effectively and sustainably expand our services, while navigating constraints in relation to the operational environment.

“We continue to look into increasing capacity across our network to cater to seasonal demand, underscoring our commitment to providing enhanced travel choices and a superior travel experience for our guests,” said Mike Rutter, Oman Air’s Chief Commercial Officer.
