Omani budget airline SalamAir takes off
Omani budget carrier SalamAir launched operations Monday, becoming the latest Gulf airline competing for the region’s low-cost travel market. The airline said it began operations with a domestic flight from the southwestern city of Salalah to the capital Muscat. In addition to the domestic market, SalamAir will fly to Dubai, as well as Makkah and Madinah in Saudi Arabia, and Karachi in Pakistan, chairman Khalid Al Yahmadi said. The carrier is to operate a fleet of 3 leased Airbus A320 single-aisle planes. Yahmadi said SalamAir could clinch between 20 and 30% of the Omani aviation market, currently dominated by Oman Air. <br/>
