en.Wedoany.com Reported - Oman Air will launch daily direct flights between Muscat and Abu Dhabi starting July 9, adding a new route connecting the capitals of two Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states.

The new route offers travelers direct service between the capitals of Oman and the United Arab Emirates, with onward connections available via Abu Dhabi's aviation network. This marks the 49th destination for Oman Air and its 10th within the GCC, reflecting the airline's continued expansion of its regional network. Oman Air stated that the new Abu Dhabi route will operate one daily flight.

Con Korfiatis, CEO of Oman Air, noted that Abu Dhabi, as a commercial and travel hub, is a key addition to the airline's network. He said Abu Dhabi is a natural complement to Oman Air's network, not only due to its importance as a regional business and travel hub but also because it strengthens the interconnected ecosystem supporting Oman and the broader GCC. He added that the airline's focus is on adding destinations that support tourism, trade, and Oman's economic ambitions.

The Muscat-Abu Dhabi route is part of Oman Air's network expansion this year. The airline previously launched new routes to Taif in January, as well as services to Singapore, Tashkent, and Sochi. It also plans to launch its first direct Dubai-Salalah route in July.

This expansion comes as Gulf airlines continue to increase regional routes, with enhanced connectivity supporting business travel, tourism, and the movement of people across GCC markets.
