Muscat: Oman’s budget airline SalamAir will stop its flight operations to India starting from October 1, 2023, The Arabian Stories has learnt.
The decision to discontinue the service comes due to limitations in providing flight rights allocations to the Indian sectors. Currently, SalamAir flies to Trivandrum, Calicut, Jaipur, and Lucknow.
