Muscat: SalamAir, Oman's premier low-cost airline, is delighted to announce the inauguration of Nairobi, Kenya, as its latest African destination. Commencing in February 2025, SalamAir will introduce direct flights from Muscat to Nairobi, providing travelers with an accessible and economical means to explore the city's vibrant culture, breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and flourishing economy.
With a commitment to enhancing connectivity, SalamAir will offer two weekly flights, facilitating travel between Nairobi and Oman, with further connections to other vibrant destinations at affordable prices. This expansion of SalamAir's African presence is a testament to Oman's broader goal of promoting increased tourism and trade between the Middle East and East Africa.
Adrian Hamilton-Manns, CEO of SalamAir, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We are thrilled to incorporate Nairobi into our growing network, signifying a significant achievement in our journey into the African market. Nairobi serves not only as a gateway for international visitors but also as a burgeoning center for business, technology, and education, establishing it as a crucial conduit for those seeking opportunities across both regions. The addition of Nairobi to our network enables us to connect passengers from East Africa to India, Thailand, Central Asia, and other destinations on our route at remarkably low fares."
The inclusion of Nairobi in SalamAir's expanding network aligns with its strategic objective of providing more affordable travel options to passengers accustomed to the high prices of traditional legacy airlines. SalamAir is steadfast in its commitment to a low-cost model, ensuring that destinations like Nairobi, as well as other points across Africa and beyond, are accessible to all. The introductory fare for the Nairobi route starts at 49.99 OMR, which represents up to 70% savings compared to the current fares offered by other airlines. This approach to low-fare travel is designed to make destinations like Nairobi, and others across Africa and the globe, accessible to a wider audience.A
