Dhaka: Oman-based SalamAir has taken delivery of its newest aircraft—an Airbus A321neo.
Named “Muttrah”—chosen through an audience poll on Instagram—the new aircraft brings SalamAir to a fleet of 14 planes.
On the occasion, Adrian Hamilton-Manns, CEO, SalamAir, said, “The addition marks a key milestone in boosting our operational capability ahead of the peak travel season. This aircraft will provide us with greater flexibility to uphold schedule reliability and further improve our on-time performance (OTP).”
“With this addition and another aircraft expected later in August, the average age of our fleet will decrease to approximately 4.8 years.”
Powered by FM LEAP-1A engines, it will deliver up to 20 percent reduction in fuel burn per seat and lower CO₂ emissions, the airline said.
The extended range of up to 4,000 nautical miles opens up new opportunities for medium- and long-haul routes.
With a seating capacity of 212, the aircraft offers USB charging ports at every seat.
SalamAir’s Airbus A320/321 fleet currently operates over 80 daily flights.
