MUSCAT : Following a highly successful season last year, SalamAir will operate two flights a week to both destinations, commencing on June 16, 2024, for Baku and June 18, 2024, for Almaty.

Both Baku and Almaty witnessed unprecedented demand last year, with travelers drawn to their rich cultural heritage and scenic landscapes. The decision to restart services to Baku and Almaty is a testament to the popularity of these destinations and a response to the consistently high seat factor of 85% and 87%, respectively, experienced last year. The robust demand has encouraged SalamAir to prioritize these routes, ensuring that travellers can once again enjoy the enchanting beauty and cultural richness of Baku and Almaty has to offer.

In a media release announcing the summer destinations, Capt. Ahmed Al Shidhani, Acting CEO of SalamAir, stated, “We are thrilled to bring back Baku and Almaty in response to popular demand. The overwhelming response from our customers last year has motivated us to bring back these fantastic summer destinations. We are confident that travelers will continue to be captivated by the unique experiences Baku and Almaty offer.”

Almaty, nestled amidst the picturesque Trans-Ili Alatau Mountains, offers a blend of modernity and tradition, while Baku enchants visitors with its juxtaposition of ancient history and modern sophistication along the Caspian Sea shores.
