Muscat: Oman Air has issued a statement addressing recent concerns about ticket prices for flights between Muscat and Salalah. The airline clarified its pricing structure, particularly for Omani citizens traveling on domestic routes.
Oman Air emphasized that it offers fixed prices for Omani citizens flying in Economy Class on this route year-round. These fixed prices apply to both the Saving Tourism and Flexible Tourism categories. For the Saving Tourism category, the price is OMR 61 for a round-trip ticket. This includes 7 kg of cabin baggage but no checked baggage. The Flexible Tourism category offers a round-trip ticket at OMR 64. This includes 7 kg of cabin baggage and 20 kg of checked baggage.
The airline also highlighted its variety of travel options, including Economy Class tickets that come with 30 kg of checked baggage. These tickets are priced at OMR 87. Additionally, Oman Air provides several Business Class options, with varying prices based on the time of booking and availability. The airline clarified that some confusion had arisen. Business Class prices were mistakenly shared as Economy Class fares, particularly when Economy Class seats are sold out.

During the Khareef season and peak travel periods, the number of daily flights increases to approximately 12. To secure tickets at the fixed prices, Oman Air encourages passengers to book in advance, especially during busy travel times.
