MUSCAT —The airline said that while a limited number of regional routes have been temporarily affected due to airspace closures, the majority of its international network continues to operate normally. Flights connecting destinations across Europe, South-East Asia and Africa remain largely unaffected.

Oman Air added that it is increasing flight frequencies where operationally possible to accommodate passenger demand and minimise travel disruptions.

To assist travellers crossing into the Sultanate of Oman from the United Arab Emirates, the airline has also introduced additional bus services for passengers travelling by land to catch onward flights from Muscat International Airport.

Passengers have been advised to regularly check the airline’s official website for the latest flight schedules and follow its official communication channels for updates.
